Job description

Director – Global Facilities Central Engineering, Construction Management & Engineering

Job Summary: Provide strategic and technical leadership for construction engineering governance and Asia regional support across large‑scale semiconductor fab programs. This role is responsible for establishing and governing construction standards, specifications, business processes, and execution playbooks to ensure consistent, safe, and high‑quality delivery across all facilities disciplines (CSA, MEP, Gas, Chemical, I&C, Fire Protection, etc.). The role partners with global, regional, and site stakeholders to strengthen execution capability, improve delivery predictability, and enable efficient project lifecycle outcomes, from design integration through commissioning, startup, and handover to operations, while site teams retain ownership of daily execution.

Main Responsibilities

• Construction Governance & Central Engineering Leadership
  • Define and govern construction engineering frameworks, standards, specifications, and business processes for greenfield semiconductor fab programs.
  • Own development and continuous improvement of construction playbooks, installation requirements, and execution methodologies.
  • Lead constructability reviews, technical assessments, and governance to ensure consistency, quality, and compliance.
  • Ensure alignment across engineering, procurement, construction, OEM vendors, and operations stakeholders.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable standards, codes, and regulations.
• Asia Regional Construction Support
  • Provide technical leadership and governance support to regional and site construction teams.
  • Support integration of design, procurement, schedule, and execution strategies.
  • Ensure readiness across systems completion, commissioning, startup, and handover phases.
  • Provide guidance on risk mitigation, change management, and escalation handling.
• Multi‑Discipline Team Leadership
  • Lead and develop a multi‑discipline Construction & Engineering team (CSA, MEP, Process, BIM, etc.).
  • Drive capability building including recruitment, training, and retention.
  • Coach, mentor, and develop team members’ career pathways.
  • Establish KPIs, track performance, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Project Execution Support
  • Review design deliverables, IFC packages, construction work packages, and technical submittals.
  • Provide input on cost estimates, schedules, and project planning assumptions.
  • Support issue resolution during construction execution, including walkdowns and commissioning readiness.
• Other Responsibilities
  • Collaborate with global stakeholders (Facilities, Procurement, Manufacturing, IT, OEMs, and external partners) to provide strategic recommendations and technical advice to executive leadership.
  • Benchmark industry best practices and incorporate Best Known Methods (BKM) into standards.
  • Support global initiatives, sustainability programs, and continuous improvement efforts.
  • Participate in capacity planning, scenario analysis, and infrastructure planning.
  • Govern construction closeout processes including punch lists, turnover documentation, and handover.
  • Leverage AI‑enabled tools and digital solutions to improve efficiency, quality, and decision‑making in construction engineering and governance.
  • Identify and implement AI‑driven process improvements within construction standards, planning, and execution.
  • Promote responsible and effective use of AI technologies aligned with organizational policies and legal requirements.
