Bechtel is building a semiconductor manufacturing plant in New Albany, Ohio. Bechtel will design and build Phase 1 of the Ohio One project, a total of 2.5 million square feet, including 600,000 square feet of clean rooms. Construction will require as much steel as eight Eiffel Towers and as much concrete as the tallest skyscrapers. Bechtel will strengthen future economic development in the region by partnering with the North America Building Trades Unions and suppliers to create several thousand new jobs and work with local education organizations to implement new training programs that will support the future talent pipeline.

The CSU Planner is responsible for developing, maintaining, analyzing, and reporting integrated Construction, Systems Completion, Startup, Testing, and Commissioning schedules to support project execution and turnover objectives. The role interfaces with Construction, Engineering, Procurement, Project Controls, Systems Completion, Startup, Quality, and Client teams to ensure a logical, resource-driven path from construction completion through turnover, commissioning, and project handover. The CSU Planner supports the achievement of milestone commitments by providing schedule development, progress measurement, forecasting, system turnover planning, and critical path analysis throughout the commissioning lifecycle.
