• Oversee third‑party design firms in developing process chemical systems including bulk chemicals, VMB/VMP layouts, and point‑of‑use delivery.
• Review and validate third‑party design deliverables such as P&IDs, equipment specifications, and system layouts, ensuring compliance with project requirements and standards (e.g., SEMI S2, ASME B31.3).
• Conduct technical evaluations of gas system designs to verify flow capacity, pressure control, material compatibility, and leak integrity.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders, construction teams, and vendors to integrate gas systems with other facility utilities.
• Collaborate with external design teams, contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders to align chemical system designs with facility requirements and project timelines.
• Perform quality assurance and risk assessments on third‑party designs, identifying and resolving constructability, safety, or compliance issues.
• Support construction by responding to RFIs, reviewing submittals, and participating in field coordination and inspections.
• Oversee commissioning and testing phases by reviewing third‑party design performance and coordinating with vendors for equipment validation and system startup.
• Implement safety protocols for hazardous chemicals, ensuring compliance with OSHA, NFPA, CGA guidelines, and local regulations.
• Monitor system health using diagnostic tools and performance data to proactively identify and resolve issues.
• Utilize BIM tools (Revit, Navisworks) to verify design interoperability and ensure operational efficiency.
• Monitor project progress, manage design‑related risks, and ensure timely delivery of high‑quality design deliverables.
• Occasional travel to project sites, vendor facilities, or third‑party design offices may be required.

• Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field.
• 3–5 years of experience in chemical engineering, with at least 2 years overseeing third‑party design or managing chemical system projects in industrial or semiconductor environments.
• Strong knowledge of chemical delivery system design and familiarity with industry standards such as SEMI S2/S6, ASME BPE, and CGA guidelines for gas handling.
• Proficiency in reviewing engineering deliverables, including P&IDs, 3D models, and specifications, using tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, or Navisworks.
• Excellent project‑management and communication skills to coordinate with external design firms, vendors, and internal teams.
• Strong problem‑solving skills focused on safety, compliance, and quality in third‑party designs.
• Experience with control systems (PLC, SCADA) and BIM workflows for design coordination is highly desirable.
• Preferred:
  Experience overseeing third‑party designs for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, or data‑center facilities with stringent gas system requirements; proficiency in BIM tools and ability to mentor internal teams.
