Role Overview: The Tool Install Construction Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing the safe and successfull installation of semiconductor manufacturing equipment (tools) within a large-scale fab construction environment.


Key Responsibilities:

Tool Installation Management

• Serve as the primary construction manager for all semiconductor tool installation activities, from

rough-in through final acceptance.

• Manage and coordinate tool install sequencing across multiple bays, zones, and phases of the fab

concurrently.

• Direct subcontractor and self-perform crews executing mechanical, electrical, process piping, and

specialty utility connections to tools.

• Oversee first article inspections, rigging, setting, and placement of process equipment per vendor and

owner requirements.

• Ensure compliance with tool installation specifications, vendor field service engineer (FSE)

requirements, and owner's construction standards.

MEP Coordination & Oversight

• Manage the full scope of MEP rough-in activities supporting tool installation: process mechanical

(PM), electrical power distribution (EPD), process exhaust, bulk gas, DI water, PCW, CDA, and

specialty chemical systems.

• Coordinate with mechanical and electrical subcontractors to ensure on-time utility stub-outs and

hook-up readiness ahead of tool deliveries.

• Review and interpret MEP design drawings, P&IDs, single-line diagrams, and tool utility connection

drawings (UCDs).• Drive resolution of MEP field conflicts and RFIs in collaboration with engineering, design, and owner's

representatives.

• Support systems turnover and startup activities including loop checks, pre-functional testing, and

commissioning of tool-supporting utilities.

Schedule & Cost Management

• Develop and maintain detailed tool install schedules integrated into the master project CPM schedule

(Primavera P6 / MS Project).

• Track and report construction progress against milestones; identify critical path risks and implement

recovery plans as needed.

• Manage subcontractor cost performance, review pay applications, and participate in change order

evaluation and negotiation.

• Forecast resource requirements for labor, equipment, and materials to support tool install windows.

Stakeholder & Vendor Coordination

• Serve as the primary construction point of contact for equipment OEM field service engineers (FSEs)

during tool delivery and installation.

• Coordinate pre-install readiness reviews (PIRRs) and tool bay acceptance reviews between

construction, the owner's team, and equipment vendors.

• Interface with the owner's process, facilities, and EHS teams to align construction activities with

operational and safety requirements.

• Participate in weekly project coordination meetings, OAC meetings, and subcontractor progress

reviews.

Safety & Quality

• Champion a zero-incident safety culture and enforce the project site safety plan for all tool install

activities.

• Conduct and document safety orientations, toolbox talks, and JHA reviews for tool install crews.

• Ensure work is performed in compliance with NEC, NFPA, SEMI standards, and applicable local and

state codes.

• Oversee quality control processes including inspection and test plans (ITPs), hold points, and punch

list resolution.

• Maintain thorough daily construction logs, photo documentation, and as-built markup records.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 10 years of progressive construction management experience on large-scale CAPEX

projects within the semiconductor or advanced manufacturing industry.

• Demonstrated hands-on experience supporting tool installation programs at leading-edge fab facilities

for clients such as Intel, Micron Technology, TSMC, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, or similar tier-1

chipmakers.

• Deep working knowledge of MEP systems in a cleanroom/fab environment, including process

mechanical, bulk gas, chemical distribution, PCW, exhaust, and power systems.

• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent tool install workstreams across different fab bays and

subcontractors simultaneously.

• Proficiency in reading and interpreting construction documents including civil/structural drawings,

MEP drawings, P&IDs, UCDs, and equipment layout plans.

• Experience with CPM scheduling tools (Primavera P6 preferred) and construction management

platforms (Procore, e-Builder, or equivalent).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a

related technical field (equivalent experience considered).

• OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification.

• PMP (Project Management Professional) or CCM (Certified Construction Manager) certification.

• Experience with tool install on EUV lithography, etch, CVD, ALD, CMP, diffusion, or implant

equipment.

• Familiarity with owner's contractor (OC) and EPCM delivery models in semiconductor construction.

• Experience managing fab construction activities in a live or partial-occupancy cleanroom

environment.

• NFPA 70E - Electrical Safety in the Workplace certification.

• Bilingual or multilingual skills are a plus for international project environments.
