MEP Interface Project Lead; CHIPS Compliance

Job Title:

Project Coordination Manager (each of CSA, Mechanical, Electrical)

About the Role:

Samsung E&C America, Inc. is a leader in high-tech engineering and construction, specializing in complex, large-scale industrial projects—including state-of-the-art semiconductor facilities—that define the future of infrastructure in Texas and beyond. Our commitment to excellence, innovation, and global standards makes us a premier destination for top-tier professionals looking to drive large-scale industrial success.

We are currently seeking a dynamic and experienced Project Coordination Manager to join our team and lead critical project phases. The Project Coordination Manager will serve as a linchpin between contract administration, cost & change management, risk & compliance management and external stakeholders. You will oversee rapid-pace project execution, ensure stringent federal and state compliance—specifically regarding CHIPS Act regulations—and maintain flawless alignment across schedules, budgets, and project scope within your respective division (CSA, Mechanical, or Electrical).

**
* Note:

We are hiring a total of three (3) Project Coordination Managers for this position, with one dedicated specialist for each of the following divisions: CSA (Civil, Structural, and Architectural), Mechanical, and Electrical.

CSA–MEP Interface Management (Core Role)

• Serve as the primary Owner-side point of contact for all interface issues arising between the CSA GC and MEP GCs (Mechanical and Electrical), proactively identifying and resolving gray-area scope gaps before they become field conflicts or change orders
• Maintain and manage a live Interface Issue Register tracking all open, pending, and resolved CSA–MEP interface items by package, responsible party, and resolution deadline
• Chair regular multi-GC interface coordination meetings; distribute meeting minutes, action items, and ensure timely follow-through by all parties

Gray-Area Scope Identification & Resolution

• Monitor and manage all structural-to-MEP interface items throughout the construction sequence, including but not limited to:
  1) Concrete sleeves, slab penetrations, and core drill locations for MEP rough-in.
  2) Cast-in-place embeds, anchor bolts, and equipment pads for mechanical and electrical equipment.
  3) Structural steel supports, pipe racks, and trapeze hangers for MEP systems.
  4) Equipment curbs, roof penetrations, and skylight/louver interfaces.
  5) Pit, trench, and sump coordination between structural and mechanical scope.
  6) Seismic bracing and vibration isolation interface with structural elements.
  7) Above-ceiling and interstitial space allocation across trades.
• Coordinate with design team and GC BIM/VDC teams to ensure structural and MEP models are aligned and clashes in gray-area zones are resolved prior to field installation
• Work with RFI and submittal workflows to ensure interface-related design clarifications are captured, responded to, and communicated to all affected GCs in a timely manner

CHIPS Act Compliance Management

• Monitor and implement CHIPS and Science Act compliance requirements applicable to the project, including domestic content requirements, labor standards (Davis-Bacon Act), and facility use restrictions
• Coordinate with the Owner's legal counsel and federal program officer to ensure all contract documents and subcontract flow-down clauses reflect applicable CHIPS Act obligations
• Track GC and subcontractor compliance documentation (certified payrolls, domestic content certifications, prohibition on foreign entities of concern) and flag non-compliance risks
• Support preparation of required reporting to the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) related to project milestones and compliance status (to Owner)

Construction Sequence & Schedule Coordination

• Monitor the construction schedule for interface-sensitive activities (e.g., concrete pours, structural steel erection, equipment setup, and pipe installation) and flag sequencing conflicts before they impact the critical path
• Coordinate with the Owner's Schedule Manager on interface-related Look-ahead schedule items and milestone dependencies across GCs
• Identify and…
