Engineering Oversight & Constructability\nMaintain oversight of engineering development to ensure designs are aligned with construction sequencing, field execution requirements, safety, quality, cost, and schedule objectives.\nEnsure constructability, installation methodology, temporary works, access, logistics, and construction sequencing are adequately addressed during design development.\nDrive early identification and resolution of design gaps, interdisciplinary clashes, scope overlaps, and interface issues.\nEnsure engineering deliverables, specifications, drawings, and material requirements are released in line with the construction schedule and procurement needs.\nChallenge design solutions that create unnecessary construction complexity, excessive cost, schedule exposure, or EHSS risk.\nEnsure appropriate coordination between process, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, piping, cleanroom, controls, and facilities engineering disciplines.\nSupport design reviews, constructability reviews, risk assessments, and value engineering initiatives.\nEnsure field changes and design modifications are properly reviewed, approved, documented, and communicated to all affected stakeholders.\nC. Procurement & Contract Strategy Oversight\nMaintain visibility of procurement strategies, bid packages, contract awards, long-lead equipment, critical materials, and supplier delivery commitments affecting construction.\nWork closely with Procurement, Contracts, Engineering, and Project Controls to ensure that contract scopes are complete, coordinated, and aligned with the execution strategy.\nChallenge procurement packages to ensure appropriate definition of scope, interfaces, deliverables, schedule obligations, quality requirements, and EHSS expectations.\nEnsure critical equipment, bulk materials, subcontractors, and specialist resources are identified and mobilized in line with construction needs.\nMonitor procurement progress and identify potential supply-chain constraints that could affect field productivity or critical-path milestones.\nSupport bid evaluations and contractor selection by assessing execution capability, relevant semiconductor experience, safety performance, resources, and proposed methodologies.\nEnsure effective management of scope gaps, change orders, commercial risks, and contractual interfaces in coordination with the appropriate Owner’s representatives.\nPromote competitive bidding, transparency, accountability, and best-value outcomes for the Owner.\nD. Construction Execution & Field Management\nLead and oversee construction execution across the project site, ensuring activities are performed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with approved plans and specifications.\nEstablish and enforce construction execution plans, sequencing strategies, work-front readiness requirements, logistics plans, and contractor coordination processes.\nMaintain an integrated view of all construction packages, including site preparation, civil and structural works, building envelope, cleanroom construction, mechanical and electrical systems, process utilities, and facility infrastructure.\nOversee installation and integration of critical semiconductor facility systems, including HVAC, ultrapure water, wastewater, specialty gases, chemicals, bulk gases, electrical distribution, controls, and other relevant fab systems.\nCoordinate cleanroom readiness, equipment installation interfaces, automated material handling systems (AMHS), inter-fab connections, and tool-installation requirements.\nEnsure construction activities are properly planned and sequenced to support system turnover, commissioning, qualification, and operational readiness.\nMonitor contractor productivity, manpower loading, work-front availability, material readiness, installation quality, and schedule performance.\nConduct regular site inspections, coordination meetings, executive field walks, and performance reviews.\nDrive resolution of construction constraints, field conflicts, rework, and interface issues through clear ownership and timely action.\nEnsure robust control of construction changes, permits, work authorizations, temporary facilities, and site logistics.\nPromote disciplined execution, field accountability, and continuous improvement across all contractors and construction partners.\nE. EHSS Leadership - Highest Priority\nDemonstrate visible, proactive EHSS leadership and establish a culture in which every injury, incident, and unsafe condition is preventable.\nEnsure that safety is treated as the first priority in every construction decision, planning activity, contractor interaction, and execution review.\nMaintain accountability for EHSS performance across all construction contractors, subcontractors, and other site partners, working in close coordination with the dedicated EHSS organization.\nEnsure EHSS requirements are integrated into engineering reviews, procurement specifications, contractor selection, mobilization, construction planning, and field execution.\nEstablish clear contractor safety expectations, leading indicators, performance targets, and accountability mechanisms.\nEnsure effective implementation of job hazard analyses, pre-task planning, daily safety briefings, permit-to-work systems, and task-specific risk assessments.\nDrive rigorous control of high-risk activities, including work at height, lifting operations, electrical work, confined-space entry, hot work, excavation, temporary works, and simultaneous operations.\nEnsure appropriate controls for chemical handling, hazardous materials, pressure systems, energized equipment, and other semiconductor-specific construction hazards.\nConduct regular field safety walks, leadership safety engagements, targeted inspections, and unannounced site observations.\nEngage directly with workers, supervisors, contractor leadership, and EHSS professionals to identify unsafe conditions and reinforce safe behaviors.\nEnsure incidents, near misses, and high-potential events are promptly reported, investigated, and addressed through effective corrective and preventive actions.\nIntervene when work is unsafe and ensure activities are stopped when necessary until risks are adequately controlled.\nChallenge contractor leadership when safety performance or behaviors do not meet the Owner’s expectations, escalating significant deficiencies and requiring demonstrated improvement.\nPromote workforce engagement, stop-work authority, learning, and shared responsibility for site safety.\nEnsure construction activities comply with applicable legal requirements, site standards, environmental controls, and security requirements.\nF. Schedule, Cost & Project Controls\nMaintain a detailed understanding of the integrated project schedule, critical path, key milestones, construction sequencing, and commissioning interfaces.\nEnsure construction plans are aligned with engineering deliverables, procurement dates, material availability, and work-front readiness.\nIdentify schedule threats early and drive practical mitigation, acceleration, and recovery plans with accountable owners.\nChallenge contractor progress reporting and validate reported progress against actual field installation and measurable completion criteria.\nCoordinate with Project Controls to monitor cost performance, productivity, forecast-at-completion, change exposure, and potential schedule impacts.\nSupport evaluation of contractor claims, variations, and extensions of time through documented facts and coordination with Contracts and Project Controls.\nEnsure appropriate management attention is directed toward critical-path activities, constrained work fronts, and major interfaces.\nBalance schedule and cost pressures against safety, quality, and long-term operational requirements.\nG. Quality, Commissioning & Operational Readiness\nEnsure construction execution meets approved design documents, technical specifications, inspection and test plans, and applicable codes and standards.\nEstablish strong expectations for installation quality, inspection discipline, documentation, testing, and defect prevention.\nDrive early identification and resolution of nonconformances,
