Wastewater Construction Superintendent

Location: Boise, Idaho

Duration: 1-year Contract-to-Hire

Work Model: On-site

We are seeking an experienced Wastewater Senior Construction Coordinator/Superintendent to serve as Owner's Representative for industrial wastewater treatment and process water systems supporting semiconductor fabrication facilities in Boise, Idaho. This specialized role requires comprehensive expertise in industrial wastewater treatment design, construction, and operation with specific focus on semiconductor manufacturing effluent streams. The Senior CC/Super will oversee the construction, modification, and expansion of complex wastewater treatment systems that process chemical waste, acid/caustic neutralization, metals precipitation, and process water recovery critical to environmentally compliant semiconductor operations.

Primary Responsibilities

As the Wastewater Senior Construction Coordinator/Superintendent, you will serve as our technical authority and field leader for all wastewater infrastructure construction projects. You will manage the complete lifecycle of wastewater system installations from design review through commissioning, startup, and operational handover, ensuring compliance with EPA regulations, state discharge permits, and Micron's environmental standards.

Oversee construction of wastewater treatment facilities including chemical treatment systems, pH adjustment systems, heavy metals precipitation and clarification, fluoride treatment, oil/water separation, biological treatment processes, sludge handling and dewatering systems, and process water recovery/recycling systems. Direct installation of associated infrastructure including collection piping networks, lift stations, equalization basins, treated water storage, and discharge monitoring systems.

Lead contractor coordination and field supervision for general contractors, specialty process equipment suppliers, piping contractors, instrumentation vendors, and equipment manufacturers. Conduct daily site inspections to verify installation quality, adherence to specifications, and compliance with safety protocols. Review and approve contractor work plans, ensuring proper sequencing to maintain operational wastewater treatment capacity during brownfield construction and system tie-ins.

Manage technical submittals including equipment shop drawings, process piping isometrics, P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), control system architecture, analyzer specifications, and chemical feed system designs. Ensure all submittals meet our wastewater treatment standards and permit requirements. Coordinate design reviews with internal stakeholders including Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), Facilities Engineering, Manufacturing, and Utilities Operations teams.

Process Systems Expertise

Direct the installation and commissioning of specialized wastewater treatment equipment including:

• Acid/caustic neutralization systems with multi-stage pH control
• Metals precipitation and flocculation systems for copper, lead, arsenic, and other semiconductor process metals
• Fluoride treatment systems using calcium precipitation or ion exchange
• Organic destruction systems including UV oxidation or ozonation
• Membrane filtration systems (ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis) for water recovery
• Activated sludge or fixed-film biological treatment systems
• Advanced oxidation processes for recalcitrant organics
• Continuous monitoring and analyzer systems for discharge compliance
• Oversee installation of complex piping systems including segregated waste streams (acid waste, caustic waste, solvent waste, general wastewater), CPVC, HDPE, and FRP piping systems, corrosion-resistant materials, double-wall containment piping, and sampling and monitoring points throughout treatment train.

Commissioning and Startup Leadership

• Develop and execute comprehensive commissioning plans for wastewater treatment systems including pre-functional checklists, integrated systems testing, process performance verification, and permit compliance demonstration. Lead startup activities including chemical feed calibration, flow balancing, control loop tuning, analyzer calibration, and treated effluent quality verification.
• Coordinate with regulatory agencies including EPA, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, and local sewer authorities during system commissioning and permit compliance testing. Manage preparation of startup reports, performance test documentation, and as-built record drawings.
• Direct training programs for Micron utilities operators on new wastewater treatment systems including process operations, upset condition response, maintenance protocols, and regulatory compliance requirements. Ensure smooth transition from construction to operations with comprehensive O&M documentation.

Regulatory Compliance and Permitting

• Ensure all wastewater construction activities comply with NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permits, pretreatment standards, stormwater pollution prevention plans, and air quality permits for…
