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, CERN in Europe and the South Pole.

We are strategic risk takers, innovators, and collaborators. We are engineers, scientists, technicians, administrative professionals. We are over 2,000 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.

Summary of the Role: A LBNF/DUNE Far Site Logistics Manager is sought to join Fermilab’s Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) project in Lead, South Dakota as part of the Far Detector & Cryogenics team. The LBNF/DUNE Project is hosted by Fermilab in Batavia, IL, but includes participation from universities and laboratories from around the world. The overall project includes construction of a beamline and near detector at Fermilab and a large underground detector at the Sanford Laboratory in Lead, South Dakota.

Summary of Responsibilities:

Under limited direction and having substantial latitude to make decisions and act, the Far Site Logistics Manager is responsible to lead the coordination of logistics, material movement, transportation, and related activities while interfacing with existing Sanford Lab operations, as well as with simultaneous construction and installation of Conventional Facilities (CF), cryogenics, and the DUNE detectors at the Sanford Lab. The role provides logistic management oversight for all materials and equipment from origin to the Sanford Lab site except for the conventional facilities construction equipment and materials. Delivery to the underground site requires close communication and coordination with project partners due to limited available storage space at the Sanford Lab. This role will include planning and schedule integration as well as high levels of communication with multiple stakeholders.

The Far Site Logistics Manager reports to the Far Detectors & Cryogenics Integration and Installation Services Manager and is expected to reside in South Dakota but also spend up to 10% of his/her time traveling domestically and internationally to other locations as necessary to support LBNF/DUNE and coordinate with project partners.
