. Review and approve electrical designs, schematics, wiring diagrams, system layouts, load calculations, short-circuit studies, capacity planning, technical specifications, and other engineering deliverables.

. Lead technical evaluation and selection of electrical equipment, including switchgear, transformers, distribution panels, backup power systems, SMS, and DUPS.

. Lead design, constructability, operability, and technical reviews resolve electrical design issues and coordinate interfaces with mechanical, structural, and other building and facility systems.

. Evaluate technologies and improvement opportunities that enhance electrical reliability, energy efficiency, sustainability, automation, and lifecycle value.

Construction & Project Execution

. Lead construction and installation of electrical systems in accordance with approved design, safety, quality, cost, and schedule requirements.

. Manage contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and suppliers, including progress, productivity, procurement, equipment delivery, interfaces, field changes, deficiencies, and recovery actions.

. Review and approve electrical submittals, shop drawings, contractor work plans, and installation requirements.

. Develop construction priorities, key milestones, resource plans, shutdown and energization requirements, and mitigation plans to protect critical project and manufacturing milestones.

. Conduct regular site reviews to verify installation quality, workmanship, construction progress, and compliance with approved requirements.

. Manage discipline scope, schedule, cost, risk, procurement, change control, KPIs, and project deliverables provide clear updates and recommendations to project leadership.

Testing, Commissioning & Handover

. Lead testing, commissioning, energization, startup, functional verification, and operational handover of electrical systems.

. Establish commissioning strategy, acceptance criteria, system turnover sequence, and testing requirements for power distribution, lighting, emergency power, backup power, and associated control systems.

. Coordinate contractors and subcontractors in functional testing, troubleshooting, adjustments, and resolution of commissioning issues to confirm systems meet design and operational requirements.

. Coordinate with Facilities Operations, Maintenance, EHS, manufacturing/end users, contractors, and suppliers to ensure operational readiness and safe transition to operations.

. Ensure complete turnover documentation, including as-built drawings, test reports, operating manuals, equipment records, training documentation, and other required handover information.

. Provide technical leadership during ramp-up and lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for significant electrical system performance or reliability issues.

Safety, Quality & Compliance

. Provide electrical safety leadership and ensure installations, construction activities, testing, commissioning, and energization comply with applicable project safety requirements, electrical codes, and standards.

. Ensure appropriate controls are implemented for electrical installation, energization, live-system interfaces, shutdowns, testing, and other high-risk activities.

. Drive quality controls for electrical equipment, materials, installation, testing, documentation, and system acceptance.

. Promote energy efficiency, sustainability, and electrical safety best practices within semiconductor manufacturing environments.

Stakeholder & Team Leadership

. Act as the primary point of contact for the electrical construction scope, aligning project leadership, project owners, Facilities Operations, manufacturing/end users, EHS, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers.

. Lead cross-functional coordination and timely resolution of design, construction, commissioning, and operational interface issues.

. Lead, coach, and develop engineers and project resources allocate resources according to project priorities and provide technical guidance on complex electrical issues.

. Build effective contractor and supplier partnerships while maintaining clear expectations for safety, quality, schedule, performance, transparency, and accountability.

. Capture lessons learned and drive continuous improvement in electrical designs, construction execution, testing, and commissioning for future projects.

Job Requirements

. Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.

. Minimum 10 years of relevant experience in electrical engineering, facility electrical systems in the semiconductor or high-tech construction industry, including at least 3 years in a supervisory or leadership role

. Strong technical knowledge of electrical power distribution, switchgear, transformers, distribution panels, backup power systems, lighting, control systems, electrical studies, testing, and commissioning.

. Demonstrated construction and project management capability across contractor management, schedule, cost, risk, quality, procurement, interfaces, change control, and system turnover.

. Strong knowledge of applicable electrical codes and standards and strong leadership, communication, stakeholder management, and structured problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

. Experience delivering large-scale electrical construction and commissioning programs for semiconductor or high-tech manufacturing facilities.

. Proficiency with electrical design and engineering tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, and ETAP.

. Experience attending or supporting factory acceptance testing (FAT) and vendor qualification activities.

. Experience with BIM, digital engineering, data analytics platforms, automation, AI-enabled tools, or other digital solutions that improve engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, or maintenance outcomes.

Working Conditions

This is a site-based role requiring significant presence on the active construction site, together with office-based planning and engineering coordination. Extended hours or weekend support may be required for critical project milestones, shutdowns, energization, testing, and commissioning. Occasional travel may be required for factory acceptance testing (FAT) or vendor qualification activities.
