Job Overview

Marketech International Corporation USA is seeking an experienced and field-focused Superintendent / Lead Foreman – Semiconductor Tool Installation to oversee daily field execution for semiconductor tool installation projects within active fab, sub-fab, and cleanroom environments.

This role is responsible for leading field coordination, subcontractor management, work sequencing, look-ahead planning, issue resolution, and progress tracking across tool move-in, pre-facilitation, hook-up, installation, punch-list, commissioning support, and handover activities. The Superintendent / Lead Foreman will coordinate closely with subcontractors, tool vendors, facility teams, internal project teams, construction coordinators, and client stakeholders to ensure work is completed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with project, EHS, QA/QC, and cleanroom requirements.

The ideal candidate has direct semiconductor construction, tool installation, cleanroom, MEP, wet mechanical, process utility, or high-tech facility field-supervision experience. This position requires strong leadership, trade coordination, construction sequencing, documentation discipline, and the ability to manage day-to-day field execution in a fast-paced and highly controlled construction environment.
