Construction Project Manager EV/AV

Who we are 

Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.

Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that.

Atoms builds Physical AI— real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.

This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.

We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.

If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.

 

What you’ll do

Project Lifecycle & Execution

• Managed end-to-end EV charging infrastructure projects from site selection through commissioning and launch, overseeing permitting, utility coordination, design review, and construction across multiple simultaneous sites
• Built and maintained detailed project plans balancing speed-to-energization, construction cost, grid capacity constraints, and operational readiness across high-power commercial charging deployments
• Tracked and managed critical path milestones across permitting, utility interconnection, and construction phases, proactively identifying schedule risks and resolving blockers before impacting go-live timelines

Utility & Grid Coordination

• Partnered directly with utility providers to manage power availability assessments, transformer upgrade timelines, service agreements, and energization scheduling to keep charging sites on track
• Coordinated electrical infrastructure requirements across engineering, grid, and construction teams to ensure design specifications, load calculations, and switchgear/transformer specs aligned with utility interconnection requirements

Permitting, Compliance & Regulatory

• Managed permitting processes across multiple AHJs, navigating zoning requirements, electrical inspection schedules, environmental compliance, and state/local EV infrastructure regulations to keep projects on schedule
• Built and maintained regulatory tracking systems across permit applications, inspection checkpoints, AHJ communications, and environmental sign-offs to ensure zero compliance gaps across a multi-site project portfolio

 

What we’re looking for

• 4-8 years of experience in commercial charging infrastructure projects
• Strong understanding of development budgets, project economics, underwriting, and feasibility analysis
• Experience preparing executive presentations and investment committee materials
• Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills
• Strong organizational, communication, and project management skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously

 

Why join us 

At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time—bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team—so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.
