Project Manager - Facilities

PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computers: machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. 

Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries. 

Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry, including partners like GlobalFoundries, we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. 

That approach has since been tested at the highest level of scrutiny the U.S. government applies to emerging technology, and it has held up. In 2025, PsiQuantum closed a $1 billion funding round that valued the company at $7 billion. In 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce signed a $100 million Letter of Intent under the CHIPS and Science Act, followed by a $125 million agreement with DARPA under Stage C of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, PsiQuantum's most valuable U.S. government agreement to date. This year, we also broke ground on our utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane, Australia, and continued building out our Chicago site. Victor Peng, our CEO, and co-founder Jeremy O'Brien, now Executive Chairman, lead a team and board that reflects how seriously the world is taking this build, joined this year by Intel's Lip-Bu Tan and Atomico's Niklas Zennström. 

PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact. 

Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift, and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we now have the funding, the government validation, and the sites under construction to make it real. 

Job Summary:

The Facilities Project Manager organizes, coordinates, and delivers facility construction, renovation, and maintenance projects across one or more sites, ensuring work is completed on time, within budget, and in compliance with safety, environmental, and building regulations. This role partners closely with internal stakeholders, architects, engineers, and contractors to keep workplaces functional, safe, and aligned to organizational needs.

Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end project management for facility construction, renovation, relocation, and major maintenance projects, including scope, schedule, and budget.
• Develop project scopes of work, estimates, and timelines; prepare formal specifications and bid documents as needed.
• Solicit, select, and manage contractors, consultants, and vendors, including negotiating agreements and monitoring performance.
• Coordinate and chair pre-bid, pre-construction, and ongoing project meetings; maintain clear communication with stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
• Monitor project progress against milestones, budgets, and quality standards; identify risks and implement corrective actions to keep projects on track.
• Ensure compliance with applicable building codes, zoning, environmental, health, and safety regulations, including conducting or supporting risk assessments.
• Oversee site planning, permitting, and inspections in partnership with regulatory agencies and local authorities.
• Prepare, review, and approve change orders, payment applications, and related project documentation.
• Maintain accurate project records, drawings, and reports, and provide regular status updates to senior leadership.
• Support long-term facilities planning, capital investment programs, and space planning initiatives, including evaluating the long-term value of proposed projects.

Experience/Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Facilities Management, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Several years of experience managing facilities, construction, or capital improvement projects, ideally across multiple sites or a campus environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage project budgets and schedules and deliver projects on time and within approved funding.
• Strong knowledge of building systems (e.g., HVAC, electrical, life safety), construction methods, and applicable codes and regulations.
• Proven experience coordinating contractors, consultants, and internal stakeholders, with strong vendor management skills.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and documentation skills, including the ability to prepare clear reports and presentations for leadership stakeholders.
