Bechtel is building a semiconductor manufacturing plant in New Albany, Ohio. The company will design and construct Phase 1 of the Ohio One project, covering 2.5 million square feet, including 600,000 square feet of clean rooms. The project is expected to use as much steel as eight Eiffel Towers and as much concrete as the tallest skyscrapers. It will create thousands of new jobs and support local education organizations with new training programs for the future talent pipeline.

The Workface Planning Manager (WFPM) facilitates the Workface Planning (WFP) program by removing constraints, strategizing field work execution, ensuring detailed construction inputs are reflected in project systems, and coordinating across EPC functions to align with field execution strategy.

• Input to the 90‑day and 3‑week lookahead by Installation Work Package (IWP), ensuring the accuracy of the Level 4 schedule for all commodities and 4D planning and modeling the construction installation sequence; ensure constraint‑free IWPs are available to the field.
• Track readiness and provide visibility to constraints at 150‑day, 90‑day, and 3‑week pre‑construction intervals, driving constraint removal through cross‑functional communication and coordination.
• Validate the sequence of IWP development to align with the field execution strategy.
• Establish metrics and dashboards to monitor the Workface Planning program’s performance and its impact on construction productivity.
• Ensure the most current design documents are used for work execution and that all design changes receive approval before implementation.
• Ensure assigned construction operations and subcontractors’ performance meets specifications within schedules and budgets.
• Provide strategy and solution‑based input to the site leadership team, coordinating with the Workface Planning Coordinator (WFPC) on scoping during FEED or early detailed engineering, project schedules, field execution sequences, material delivery & sequencing, startup system sequencing, testing, and automation plans.
• Integrate subcontractors within the Workface Planning Program.

• Bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) and 10–13 years of relevant experience, or 14–17 years of relevant work experience.

• Previous experience in Engineering, Startup, or Project Controls is beneficial; strong knowledge of BSAPs and standard programs used on Bechtel EPC projects (e.g., Integraph Smart Plant, Team Works, Infoworks, Digital Supply Chain, Synchro 4D, Bechtel Production System).
• Coordinate across functions, both peer‑to‑peer and vertically, to develop tangible execution strategies.
• Communicate execution plans and strategies to project and site managers, other stakeholders, and customer personnel.
• Summarize large amounts of project data into clear, concise reports.
• Interface with personnel of varying backgrounds and skill sets.
• Help teams define strategic direction to develop practical action plans.
