What we do at Blykalla

Blykalla is a Swedish deep-tech company at the forefront of the nuclear industry, pioneering the development of small modular reactors that provide clean, safe, and reliable energy. Thanks to lead-cooling, we achieve high safety in a very compact format, allowing for a simple and cost-effective design that can be mass-produced. Our unique reactor design will provide safe and green baseload energy that perfectly complements solar and wind power.

Drive Nuclear Facility Projects Into Reality

Are you an experienced project manager who has delivered regulated research or industrial facilities and wants to take full ownership of establishing facilities for clean energy? As Blykalla accelerates the development of our nuclear technology, we are strengthening our project management team with a project manager focused on delivering facilities such as fuel production and testing infrastructure.

This role is for someone who can take full ownership and delivery of facility modification, equipment installation and commissioning projects using commercial/modified off the shelf (COTS/MOTS) equipment. The individual will be experienced in coordinating design, permitting, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning activities in a research oriented environment.

What you’ll get to do

As a Project Manager at Blykalla, you will take primary responsibility for delivering capability installation and broader technology development projects from early definition through execution and handover to the operations team. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy and accountability, reporting to the COO and working as part of the project management team.

You will:

• Own project delivery from end-to-end, including scope definition, planning, budgeting, monitoring, risk management, and delivery.

• Act as the main point of accountability for schedule, cost, safety, quality, and compliance.

• Align internal stakeholders across engineering, operations, safety, and management to ensure execution progress.

• Identify risks early and take action when delivery or compliance is at risk

A key example project is the build-out of a nuclear fuel development and backend research facility, but the role may also include other testing, manufacturing, or infrastructure facilities as Blykalla grows.
