- Lead facilities and real estate capital projects from concept/feasibility through design, construction, commissioning, and closeout.
- Develop and manage project execution plans including phasing strategies, shutdown/tie-in plans, and business continuity measures for live operations.
- Drive disciplined scope definition and establish clear design and construction deliverables, acceptance criteria, and turnover requirements.
Tool-Ready Infrastructure / Process Utilities
- Deliver infrastructure upgrades and expansions supporting semiconductor tools and R&D operations, including coordination of HVAC and environmental control systems; process and general exhaust systems; make-up air and airflow balance strategies; clean dry air (CDA), vacuum, and other process utilities (as applicable); electrical distribution; controls/BMS integration; and monitoring systems.
- Coordinate specialty gas infrastructure interfaces in partnership with gas/life safety SMEs.
- Ensure infrastructure designs and field execution align with operational needs, reliability targets, and safety requirements.
Cleanroom Retrofit / Build
- Lead cleanroom retrofit/build efforts while protecting contamination control, safety, and uptime.
- Coordinate cleanroom design and execution considerations including ISO classification considerations, pressure regimes, airflow patterns, filtration strategies, and contamination control practices during construction.
- Plan commissioning readiness and operational turnover.
