Project Overview:

Fab 62 is an advanced semiconductor fabrication facility for Intel Corporation, located at Intel's Ocotillo campus in Chandler, Arizona. As part of this work, the M&T team is responsible for delivering the engineering, procurement, and construction scope required to complete and finish-out a leading-edge chipmaking facility — a highly demanding environment where precision, cleanliness, schedule certainty, and coordination across thousands of craft and professional personnel are essential to success. The project supports the continued expansion of domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity, contributing to a more resilient technology supply chain while creating significant opportunity for the local Arizona workforce. Joining the Fab 62 team means contributing directly to one of the most strategically important construction efforts in the United States and helping deliver the infrastructure behind the next generation of microelectronics.

Job Summary:

The EPC Automation Lead is at the core of Bechtel’s data-centric delivery model and is responsible for understanding the stakeholder information required to deliver the Micron project and identifying how these outputs are met through data requirements and the deployment of Bechtel’s full suite of EPC applications.

Assigned to the PIIM organization, the EPC Automation Lead leads a unified cross-functional automation team spanning Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Startup. The role is accountable for the end-to-end deployment, configuration, integration, and adoption of Bechtel’s standard application ecosystem on the Micron project — ensuring each tool is implemented to standard, certified in the Bechtel network environment, and connected through a unified project data environment.

The EPC Automation Lead liaises with internal and external stakeholders to ensure Owner (Micron) data and automation requirements are met, and that 3rd-party vendor data and deliverables are properly integrated. The Lead creates and maintains a comprehensive data structure, integrated tool ecosystem, and reporting framework that creates value across each function’s work processes and the Owner’s operational requirements, so the project achieves data-centric delivery successfully.

The position provides cross-functional coordination and methods of integration including, but not limited to, 3D Model Development, 4D Integrated Schedule, Common Data Environment (CDE) alignment, 5D Integrated Cost, document management, IS&T, and driving an innovative culture on the project. 

Major Responsibilities:

• Lead the deployment of Bechtel’s full suite of EPC applications on the Micron project — including the Electronic Document Management System (Aconex), design and model authoring tools (e.g., Bentley MicroStation, Autodesk Revit/AutoCAD), material and procurement applications (e.g., Agile, Bulk Material Utilities), Power Platform solutions, and Bechtel Data Mesh / data-integration services — in alignment with the Project Automation Plan.
• Own tool selection, configuration, user-group setup, certification, and rollout, ensuring software is tested and certified appropriately in the Bechtel network environment.Ensure tool selection and deployment, data requirements and structure, and the project automation and integration plan support the overall Project Execution Plan.
• Provide direction to the EPC Automation team and Project IS&T on the deployment of automation tools, identifying user groups, and ensuring integration of the various software tools through the CDE.
• Drive integration across applications so cross-functional data flows seamlessly (3D model ↔ schedule ↔ cost ↔ documents ↔ analytics), reflecting the project’s Level 1 Automation Diagram and AI-enablement opportunities.
• Provide direction and coordination across functional automation leads to deliver the best outcomes for project delivery and advanced work packaging.
• Supervise and lead automation leads and teams across all functions.Coordinate closely with Engineering to ensure alignment and integration with BIM requirements, including BIM Lead(s) at 3rd-party engineering consultants and/or construction firms.
• Coordinate with Engineering, Procurement, and Construction to ensure continuity and appropriate level of detail to support each project phase.

Other Major Responsibilities:

• Ensure implementation of the Project Information Model across each stage of the project, meeting Micron information requirements, Bechtel information requirements, and industry-wide standards.
• Work closely with functional teams to understand life-cycle information requirements (graphical and non-graphical) and align the Information Management Plan to meet those needs.
• Ensure the IS&T Project automation plan aligns to the Project Information Model; review Functional Project Procedures for alignment with the Project Information Management Plan.
• Use automation and reporting to monitor and maintain the highest level of data quality and accuracy.
• Conduct regular assessments of Information Management Plan implementation and seek continuous-improvement opportunities.
• Ensure implementation of the Common Data Environment (CDE), including relevant standards on its use and application across the project, and ensure Aconex is configured and managed to support project needs.
• Receive and interpret client information requirements; coordinate with functional teams to develop the Project Delivery Matrix, including key coding structures (Work Breakdown, asset classification) aligned with Micron requirements and other stakeholders.
• Review Procurement and Contracts tender documents to ensure supply-chain information capabilities are assessed and aligned to the Project Information Model.Liaise with client stakeholders to exchange and ensure information requirements are met; provide input into design requirements (level of detail and data attributes) needed to support required outputs across project phases.
• Ensure adequate training is provided on the use of the Project Information Model and associated tools and processes (CDE, 4D, 5D, etc.), including engagement with off-project subject-matter experts.
• Support the PIIM Manager to champion, develop, and implement innovation across the project — continually seeking ways the Project Information Model, Automation Plan, and digital toolkit (including AI-enabled solutions) can improve safety, quality, productivity, and customer satisfaction. 

Education and Experience Requirements:

• Requires bachelor's degree in engineering, construction, or information management (or international equivalent) and 10-13 years of relevant experience or 14-17 years of relevant work experience​

Required Knowledge and Skills:

• Significant experience within the EPC functions, or a strong project-led understanding of cross-functional EPC work processes and the applications used for project execution, with a passion for implementing new and innovative work processes.
• Demonstrated experience deploying, configuring, and integrating EPC software applications and managing application rollouts across a large project.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to explain new work processes and technologies to all levels of the organization.
• Self-motivated, with outstanding leadership skills and the ability to influence without authority.
• Ability to manage priorities and take on evolving responsibilities, with demonstrated experience directing/supervising a team.
• Good understanding of configuration management and application-integration requirements to enable cross-functional data integration.
