Overview

SSOE works with the world’s leading high-tech companies to power technology at our fingertips—from smart phones to smart cars—and meet the ongoing global chip demand. We’re looking to hire a Design Lead to our team, who will have the opportunity to participate in the design of state of the art industrial and high-tech manufacturing facilities. 

The Design Lead will be responsible to work with our lead engineers, design teams, and Sr. Project Managers to identify, understand, and manage the scope of work, schedule, and budget of various design packages. This person will also coordinate with various disciplines within the organization (architectural, electrical, mechanical, process/chemical, structural, etc.) and will be an integral part of problem-solving complex design challenges. This position is located in Chandler, AZ and will require significant onsite client interaction.

Responsibilities

MANAGING THE PROJECT

• Preparing the project plan, establishing control procedures, monitoring progress, and making adjustments as needed to ensure project goals are being met.
• Working in tandem with our lead engineers, design team, and senior project managers to identify, understand, and manage the scope of work, schedule, and budget.

• Coordinating meetings and establishing all paper flow and document control with client, contractors, regulatory agencies, and others involved—including RFI responses.
• Reviewing and approving client billings and assisting with account collections, as needed.

DEMONSTRATING AGILITY

• Completing work assignments of increasing complexity, working within an established framework of scope, schedule, and cost under minimal supervision (with wide latitude for independent judgement).
• Applying critical thinking, learning agility, verbal and written communication, and prioritization on a daily basis.
• Displaying a commitment and attention to detail and quality control while demonstrating professionalism under pressure.
• Successfully collaborating in a fast-paced environment, managing upwards of 10-30 small to mid-sized projects of varying levels of complexity.

DRIVING SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY

• Communicating client requirements to each discipline to ensure our work complies with client and project standards as well as contract requirements.
• Leading internal meetings, documenting meeting minutes / action items, and helping drive open items and bring project constraints to closure.
• Ensuring the overall financial success of the project.
