Job description
We Are:
Fermilab is America’s premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. We support discovery science experiments in Illinois and at locations around the world, including deep underground mines in South Dakota and Canada, mountaintops in Arizona and Chile, and the South Pole.
We are strategic risk takers, innovators, and collaborators. We are engineers, scientists, technicians, administrative professionals. We are 1,800 employees advancing knowledge for the benefit of humankind. Fermilab has been at the forefront of particle physics for more than 40 years. We build world-leading accelerators and detectors to conduct some of the most advanced particle physics experiments possible. We collect and analyze the data from those experiments with some of the most powerful computers in the world. We conduct this research on a 6,800-acre prairie, 35 miles outside Chicago, a treasure that has been designated a National Environmental Research Park.
LBNF/DUNE-US Deputy Project Controls Manager
Fermilab (
www.fnal.gov
) is America’s only national laboratory fully dedicated to particle physics research. By building some of the most complex and powerful particle accelerators and detectors in the world, scientists at Fermilab expand humankind’s understanding of matter, energy, space and time. Fermi Research Alliance, LLC (FRA) manages Fermilab for the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science. FRA is an alliance of the University of Chicago and the Universities Research Association (URA), a consortium of 86 universities. FRA combines the depth and commitment of the University of Chicago with the broad involvement of URA universities for the benefit of Fermilab, the particle physics community and the nation.
Fermilab’s Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) Project is seeking an LBNF/DUNE-US Deputy Project Controls Manager to join the team. The LBNF/DUNE-US Project (
https://lbnf-dune.fnal.gov
) is hosted by Fermilab in Batavia, IL, but includes participation from Universities and Laboratories from around the world. The project includes construction of the world’s most powerful neutrino beam and a near detector at Fermilab as well as a large underground detector at the Sanford Underground Research Laboratory (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota. The LBNF/DUNE project will design and construct one of the largest neutrino experiments in the world in the next decade.
Reporting directly to the LBNF/DUNE-US Project Controls Manager, the Deputy Project Controls Manager will help coordinate a team of project controls professionals in the successful execution of all project control related actives in support of the LBNF/DUNE-US project, in conformance with the requirements of DOE Order 413.3b and Fermilab EVM system requirements.
