Area Superintendent, Chandler, AZ - Semiconductor

WORLD WIDE PROFESSIONAL SOLUTIONS is a project solutions organization committed to implementing lean constructions, collaborative contracting, and execution approaches to enable breakthroughs in performance.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Area Superintendent to join our team in Chandler, AZ and support a large scale semiconductor construction project.

The Semiconductor Construction Area Superintendent is responsible for safe, quality focused, schedule driven execution of an assigned construction area, building zone, discipline package, or system scope. This role provides direct field leadership for contractors, trade partners, subcontractors, and vendor teams while coordinating CSA, MEP, cleanroom, process utility, commissioning, and turnover interfaces.

The Area Superintendent converts the master schedule into executable field plans, removes constraints, drives trade productivity, and ensures the assigned area is ready for inspections, turnover, and downstream work. Candidates must have both semiconductor construction experience and data center construction experience in complex mission critical environments.

*Local Candidates Highly Preferred. A relocation package may be available for outstanding candidates.*

Responsibilities

• Lead day to day field execution for an assigned area, building zone, discipline package, or system scope on a semiconductor project.
• Own safety, quality, productivity, schedule, logistics, and workface readiness within the assigned area.
• 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.
• Coordinate 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.
• Manage area congestion and coordinate simultaneous operations among multiple trades without compromising safety or productivity.
• 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.

Key Competencies

• Strong field leadership, accountability, and decision making skills.
• Ability to manage complexity, risk, trade coordination, and aggressive schedules.
• Clear communication and effective stakeholder management across field and project teams.
• Proactive problem solver with a field first mindset and strong attention to execution detail.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, architecture, engineering, or a related field is preferred.
• Equivalent field experience will be considered in lieu of formal education.
