Role Overview

We are seeking a Director, Client Development - Semiconductor Manufacturing (Design-Build / EPC) to build, secure, and execute large-scale capital programs ($100M+), with direct accountability for bookings, commercial strategy, and delivery outcomes. This client-facing growth leadership role blends strategic client alignment with deep technical expertise to expand multi-project initiatives across wafer fabrication, advanced packaging, sub-fab systems, and semiconductor support manufacturing environments—including cleanroom facilities, process utilities, and highly controlled manufacturing spaces—in both brownfield and greenfield settings.

What You’ll Do

• Own bookings targets, pricing strategy, and commercial positioning, developing opportunities into secured design-build (DB) and engineer-procure-construct (EPC) initiatives supporting semiconductor manufacturing, cleanroom, sub-fab, process utility, and support facilities—leveraging your technical insights to achieve outcomes.
• Engage client executive stakeholders across Engineering, Manufacturing, Facilities, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, and Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) to align capital investment with capacity expansion, yield, reliability, and speed-to-tool objectives.
• Lead pursuit strategy and executive presentations; negotiate commercial terms, delivery approach, pricing, and risk allocation with direct accountability for contractual outcomes, drawing on technical expertise to build client trust.
• Lead internal subject matter experts (SMEs) across process, architecture/engineering (A/E), preconstruction, construction, and controls to deliver integrated DB/EPC solutions.
• Participate in go/no-go reviews, pipeline governance, forecasting, and customer relationship management (CRM) discipline to support predictable growth and backlog health.
• Serve as executive sponsor through execution and closeout, remaining accountable for client satisfaction, commercial performance, and long-term account profitability.

What You’ll Bring

• 15+ years leading and delivering capital programs for manufacturing clients in a design-build, EPC, or integrated A/E/C environment—particularly within semiconductor manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, or other highly technical and regulated production environments—with personal responsibility for securing work, pricing, and delivery execution.
• Deep understanding of semiconductor manufacturing operations, including cleanroom classifications, process tool integration, people and material flows, adjacency planning, sub-fab infrastructure, process utilities (UPW, specialty gases, bulk chemicals), automation, and operational turnover across manufacturing and support systems.
• Experience leading large, multidisciplinary delivery teams with authority over scope, cost, schedule, and margin.
• Use industry experience and technical knowledge in delivery strategy development and cost/schedule de-risking, including preconstruction, constructability, phasing, shutdown/tie-in planning, tool installation coordination, and risk management—all to support client pursuits and margin-aware growth.
• Semiconductor manufacturing sector experience strongly preferred; experience with wafer fabrication, advanced packaging, or semiconductor support facilities applicable.
• Experience working in quality-driven and highly controlled manufacturing environments; cleanroom operations, safety-critical systems, and regulatory compliance exposure required.
• Executive-level communication skills with the ability to influence and align technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Willingness to travel for client engagement, site walkdowns, and industry events.
• BS or MS in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or related field.
• Professional Engineer (PE) preferred but not required; Master of Business Administration (MBA) and/or Project Management Professional (PMP) a plus.
