At Valar Atomics, we're redefining what's possible in energy. Our mission is to make clean, high-temperature nuclear power scalable—unlocking abundant energy for industry, hydrogen, and next-generation manufacturing. We are a team of builders, engineers, and operators who believe nuclear energy should be fast to deploy, factory-made, and built for the real world.

Our first pilot plant in Orangeville, Utah will demonstrate how advanced nuclear systems and fuel fabrication can power the future. We're looking for an experienced Development and Construction Finance Director to lead the financial planning, reporting, and cost management that supports Valar's construction programs. You'll partner closely with project managers, engineering, procurement, and field teams to ensure project budgets, cash flow, and financial performance stay aligned as we build.

The right person combines deep expertise in construction finance with strong analytical and communication skills, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is energized by building the financial processes, controls, and insights that enable complex infrastructure projects to execute on time, on budget, and at scale. Serve as the primary finance partner to construction and project teams in the field, aligning financial plans with operational realities. Own construction cost tracking, forecasting, and reporting across active projects, including budget-versus-actual and variance analysis.

Manage project cash-flow planning and ensure capital is available to meet construction milestones and payment obligations. Review and reconcile contractor and vendor invoices, change orders, and progress billings against approved budgets and work completed. Partner with project controls to connect cost, schedule,



and earned value into explicit financial reporting.

Produce monthly construction cost reports with variance commentary, key drivers, risks, and recommended actions for leadership. Help maintain the project cost-coding structure, including the work breakdown structure and cost breakdown structure inputs. Support capital budgeting and funding plans for construction phases, working with finance leadership to keep projects funded and on plan.

Monitor commitments, contingencies, and exposure across projects, flagging risks before they lead to overruns. Partner with procurement and legal to align contract terms, payment schedules, and financial controls. Help build and improve the financial processes, controls, and tools that will scale across multiple construction sites.

You are comfortable working closely with field and construction teams and translating on-the-ground activity into clear financial analysis. You bring strong cost management, forecasting, and cash-flow discipline to a fast-moving construction environment. You build reporting that is accurate, easy to follow, and useful for both finance leaders and project teams.

You can explain financial outputs clearly to both financial and non-financial audiences, including contractors and engineers. You bring strong ownership and can manage recurring reporting deadlines without needing heavy oversight.
