How to Apply for Project Coordinator (II)

at Terrestrial Energy

🏢 About Terrestrial Energy

Terrestrial Energy is developing the Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR), a Generation IV small modular nuclear plant that provides zero-emission heat and power for industry. Having recently gone public via a merger (NASDAQ: IMSR), the company is entering a high-growth phase with strong federal and state support for advanced nuclear. Working here means joining a pioneering team at the forefront of clean energy innovation, with the chance to shape the future of nuclear technology.

About This Role

As a Project Coordinator (II), you will support the execution of engineering projects critical to the development and deployment of the IMSR. You'll coordinate schedules, resources, and communications across multidisciplinary teams, ensuring projects stay on track and within scope. This role is pivotal in helping Terrestrial Energy deliver its first commercial reactors and drive the clean energy transition.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start your day with a virtual stand-up with engineering leads to review progress and address blockers. Later, you might update project schedules, coordinate with vendors on deliverables, and prepare status reports for management. You'll also attend cross-functional meetings to ensure alignment and may troubleshoot issues that arise, all while keeping documentation organized and accessible.

🎯 Who Terrestrial Energy Is Looking For

  • 3-5 years of project coordination experience in engineering, construction, or nuclear industries, with a track record of supporting complex projects.
  • Familiarity with project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera) and methodologies (e.g., PMBOK, Agile), plus strong organizational and multitasking skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities to liaise between engineers, vendors, and leadership in a remote setting.
  • Knowledge of US energy markets, regulatory environments, or nuclear quality standards (e.g., NQA-1) is a plus.

📝 Tips for Applying to Terrestrial Energy

1

Highlight any experience coordinating engineering projects in regulated industries (nuclear, oil & gas, aerospace) to show you understand the compliance-heavy environment.

2

Emphasize your ability to work remotely and collaborate with distributed teams, as this role is fully remote and Terrestrial Energy has headquarters in Charlotte but project sites elsewhere.

3

Mention specific project management software you've used and how you've used it to track milestones, budgets, and deliverables.

4

Demonstrate familiarity with Terrestrial Energy's IMSR technology or advanced nuclear in general—this shows genuine interest and initiative.

5

Use metrics to quantify your coordination successes (e.g., 'coordinated 5+ projects simultaneously, delivering 95% on time').

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your passion for clean energy and belief in advanced nuclear's role in decarbonization, specifically referencing Terrestrial Energy's IMSR.", 'Concrete examples of coordinating complex engineering projects, including how you managed schedules, stakeholders, and risks.', 'Your ability to thrive in a fast-paced, growth-stage company and adapt to evolving processes.', 'Any experience with nuclear quality standards or regulatory compliance that would accelerate your contribution.']
