About the Role

If you have a strong background in industrial piping and experience leading piping operations in semiconductor or advanced manufacturing environments, we want to talk to you. In this role, you'll lead the safe, high-quality, and on-schedule installation of process, high-purity, utility, and specialty piping systems while coordinating craft labor and subcontractors in a demanding cleanroom environment. You will thrive in this role if you bring hands-on knowledge of high-purity stainless steel and plastic piping systems, including PVDF and polypropylene, along with experience reading P&IDs and isometrics and leading multi-crew operations. Strong communication, problem-solving, and field leadership skills are essential to success in this role.
