Branchburg, NJ (HO) - US Hwy 22 W - Advanced materials

The science of electronics is transforming exponentially through innovation and connectivity around the planet. Every day, breakthroughs are making technologies - from micro-processors, memory chips and flat panels to photovoltaic cells - even smaller and more powerful, opening up countless new possibilities in how the world lives, works and connects. Air Liquide Advanced Materials grows by enabling our customers to innovate.

Our ALOHA and Voltaix products are critical to the manufacturer of the newest computer chips required for Big Data and the Internet of Things.

This position is located at the Air Liquide Advanced Materials (ALAM) Head Office in Branchburg, NJ. The Site Construction Manager will direct, oversee, and support global project execution. This includes managing site teams to ensure the successful completion of construction activities in accordance with project objectives, priorities, and contracts across ALAM sites globally.

This central position facilitates direct contact with local construction and site managers, typically overseeing 3 to 4 concurrent construction site schedules. Because ALAM projects are generally first-of-its-kind installations, repeatability is rare, demanding highly adaptable site management setups. Capital investments are primarily brownfield developments located directly at existing ALAM manufacturing facilities.
