Area Superintendent

Responsibilities

• Lead day to day field execution for an assigned area, building zone, discipline package, or system scope on a semiconductor project.
• Translate the project master schedule into six week lookaheads, three week plans, daily work plans, and measurable crew commitments.
• Lead daily coordination meetings, field huddles, and trade partner planning sessions for the assigned area.
• Direct subcontractors, trade foremen, general foremen, vendors, and field support teams to achieve planned milestones.
• Cook up CSA, MEP, cleanroom, process utility, controls, and equipment installation interfaces within a dense construction environment.
• Validate prerequisites, release work fronts, remove constraints, and confirm labor, materials, equipment, access, permits, and inspections are available before work begins.
• Review drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, work packages, BIM and VDC models, and field changes for constructability and execution readiness.
• Resolve field conflicts, scope gaps, and sequencing issues quickly while escalating significant cost, schedule, or safety risks.
• Track installed quantities, manpower, productivity, earned progress, schedule status, and recovery actions for the assigned area.
• Establish and enforce a strong safety culture through pretask planning, field observations, corrective actions, and compliance with project requirements.
• Ensure compliance with OSHA, local regulations, owner standards, and site specific safety procedures.
• Implement QA/QC requirements, inspection and test plans, first work inspections, deficiency correction, and documentation for assigned scopes.
• Maintain clean construction, housekeeping, material control, and foreign object debris prevention standards appropriate for semiconductor environments.
• Plan and coordinate site access, deliveries, laydown, hoisting, crane picks, temporary facilities, and material movement within the assigned area.
• Coordinate inspections with the owner, construction management team, engineers, AHJs, third party inspectors, and commissioning personnel.
• Support system completion, punch list closure, startup, commissioning, operational readiness, and phased turnover activities.
• Ensure building areas and utility systems are ready for cleanroom finishes, process equipment, tool install, and downstream manufacturing activities.
• Apply lessons from data center construction to mission critical sequencing, redundancy, power and cooling interfaces, commissioning, and turnover.
• Prepare accurate daily reports, manpower reports, issue logs, constraint logs, progress updates, and milestone forecasts.
• Develop recovery plans when work falls behind and drive corrective actions with trade partners and project leadership.
• Mentor assistant superintendents, field engineers, and trade leadership while reinforcing consistent site execution standards.

Requirements

• 12+ years of experience on large scale construction projects, including significant field leadership responsibility.
• Required semiconductor construction experience on a fab, cleanroom, subfab, process utility, advanced packaging, or related microelectronics facility.
• Required data center construction experience in a mission critical environment. Candidates must have both semiconductor and data center experience.
• Prior experience as an Area Superintendent, Superintendent, General Superintendent, or Construction Manager responsible for a major area or discipline package.
• Strong understanding of CSA, MEP, cleanroom, process systems, utilities, controls, and complex system interfaces.
• Working knowledge of data center power, cooling, redundancy, commissioning, and phased turnover requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple contractors, aggressive schedules, dense logistics, and concurrent workstreams.
• Experience with fast track, design build, EPC, EPCM, or construction management delivery models.
• Strong planning skills using lookahead schedules, short interval planning, production tracking, and constraint management.
• OSHA 30 or equivalent safety certification.
