Senior Project Manager, Isotopes

Join a mission-driven team advancing domestic radioisotope production for healthcare, scientific research, aerospace, industry, and national defense applications. In this high-impact role, you will lead complex projects spanning facility development, commissioning, operational readiness, infrastructure deployment, and regulatory compliance. Working across engineering, operations, radiological protection, supply chain, and business functions, you will translate strategic priorities into actionable plans and measurable results. You will oversee schedules, budgets, resources, contractors, and project risks while helping teams navigate technical complexity and evolving requirements. This opportunity is ideal for a proactive, hands-on leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, brings clarity to ambiguity, and takes ownership from planning through delivery. Your work will help build scalable domestic isotope production capabilities with meaningful real-world impact.
