Head of Infrastructure

ABOUT FUSE We are building one of the most potentially consequential companies of the century. Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win. ABOUT THE ROLE You'll report directly to the CEO and take full responsibility for Fuse's capital development function: permitting, contractors, schedules, regulatory navigation, and facility execution. Think like a builder, not a bureaucrat. The immediate job is to finish our flagship facility and support machinery installations as new systems come online and help with the ABQ radiation testing facility. Then the scope gets bigger: greenfield development at a scale Fuse has not attempted before. Turn regulatory complexity into a roadmap and find the fastest compliant path forward. WHAT WE VALUE - Obsess about the details — sloppy work costs us later, so do it right the first time. - Care — pick up the trash. Do things no one asks you to do. Go the extra mile because you care. - Act with urgency — every hour matters more than it feels like it does. - Be responsible for the outcome, not just the task; if it is not working, it remains your problem until it is fixed. - Assume good intent — disagree openly, then commit fully once a call is made. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES - Take responsibility for the complete capital project lifecycle: permitting strategy, contractor coordination, scheduling, budget management, and execution for current facility modifications and equipment installations. - Navigate state building, fire, zoning, and environmental codes; manage relationships with local planning departments, building departments, fire, HazMat, and other regulatory bodies. - Develop and execute the permitting strategy for current and future projects, including radiation facility requirements; coordinate with structural, MEP, and specialized engineers. - Manage multiple contractors simultaneo
