No I was a physicist straight out of University working on laser interferometry measurements of plasma ensity.
I don't know what you know about this but Jet was a big fusion machine a tokamak

It achieved ignition so a full multi-second self sustaining fusion reaction - basically a star in a bottle
However it produced less energy than it took to run - by design
ITER is designed to reach breakeven - to produce more energy than it takes to run - it's not planned to be an actual power-station but to solve the engineering issues in creating one.
As such I expect that after construction there will be quite a bit of ongoing work.
What's your area? Building? Electrics?
This is important stuff - if it's made to work we create energy out of seawater - it's like getting to work on Apollo or the manhatten project one to tell your grandkids about
