About Us
At Antares, our long-term mission is to make clean energy abundant from Earth to the Asteroid Belt. We’re fueled by the belief that advanced nuclear energy can strengthen our military, solve the climate crisis, elevate global living standards, and expand humanity's presence in outer space. To achieve our mission, we’re building mass-producible, inherently safe, deployable microreactors that can be used terrestrially, underwater, and in space.
The Antares team hails from SpaceX, the White House, the Pentagon, the Department of Energy, MIT, Rigetti Computing, General Atomics, Relativity Space, Ursa Major, and National Laboratories like Idaho, Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, and Savannah River. Antares has raised over $600M in venture capital from top-tier investors and has hundreds of million-dollars on contract with the military services, NASA, and the Department of Energy.
About the Team
Antares Nuclear is developing and deploying advanced nuclear microreactor technology to provide highly reliable, resilient, and secure electricity for critical national-security infrastructure. As part of this effort, Antares is working with the Department of the Army to develop a microreactor power plant at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Antares is seeking a Site Lead to own on-the-ground execution of the Fort Bragg microreactor project. This is a senior technical and program-management role responsible for driving day-to-day progress on-site, navigating military construction processes, and maintaining the relationships with installation leadership and the local contractor base needed to deploy the project quickly and successfully.
The Site Lead will serve as Antares' principal on-site representative for all matters of schedule, technical readiness, and installation coordination – engaging directly and confidently with senior Army and installation leadership. This individual will work closely with Antares' North Carolina community and government affairs team to ensure execution progress and external commitments remain fully aligned
Roles and Responsibilities:
Program & Site Execution
- Own day-to-day program management and execution accountability for the Fort Bragg microreactor deployment, including schedule, technical milestones, and installation-level dependencies.
- Navigate on-base construction processes, approvals, and documentation requirements specific to Fort Bragg.
- Translate engineering and program requirements into actionable, installation-specific execution plans.
- Identify, vet, and manage relationships with local contractors capable of executing work quickly and reliably at Fort Bragg.
- Proactively identify bottlenecks and drive resolution across internal teams, installation personnel, contractors, and other stakeholders to keep the project on schedule.
- Military & Installation Relationships
- Build and maintain direct, credible relationships with Fort Bragg's Directorate of Public Works, installation leadership, and relevant Army stakeholders.
- Represent Antares with confidence and credibility in meetings with senior Army and installation leadership on technical readiness, schedule, and project status.
- Maintain deep, working fluency in how Fort Bragg and Army institutional processes function.
- Cross-Functional Coordination
- Align closely with Antares' Mission Engineering leadership on program schedule, requirements, and technical milestones.
- Work in close, frequent coordination with Antares' North Carolina State & Community Affairs, to ensure government and community commitments remain grounded in actual installation progress.
- Coordinate with Antares' broader Government Affairs team to stay aligned on messaging and strategy.
- Provide regular, concise status reporting to leadership on execution progress, risks, and near-term needs.
- Local Network Development
- Build and maintain a bench of trusted local contractors, tradespeople, and technical talent to support site execution needs as the project…
