Job description

Electrical Project Manager – Semiconductor Construction

Location: Chandler, AZ
Salary: $160,000–$180,000
Schedule: Approximately 50 hours per week
Bonus: Additional bonus opportunity for hours worked over 50
Position: Full-Time | Onsite

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Project Manager to support a major semiconductor fabrication facility construction project in Chandler, Arizona.

This is a true electrical construction leadership position. We are looking for someone who has spent their career managing significant electrical scopes—not a general Project Manager who has simply had exposure to electrical construction.

The position is focused on semiconductor base build construction, including site-wide electrical infrastructure, fab and subfab areas, utility buildings, electrical rooms, substations, distribution systems, temporary power, energization, commissioning, and turnover.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Manage major electrical construction packages from design coordination through installation, energization, commissioning, and turnover.
• Provide technical and construction oversight for medium- and low-voltage electrical infrastructure.
• Coordinate substations, switchgear, transformers, electrical rooms, feeders, grounding systems, duct banks, distribution systems, and temporary power.
• Review electrical drawings, specifications, single-line diagrams, equipment layouts, submittals, RFIs, and technical documentation.
• Identify constructability, routing, sequencing, installation, and system-integration issues before they impact field execution.
• Coordinate electrical construction across fab, subfab, utility, support, and site infrastructure areas.
• Work closely with electrical contractors, general contractors, engineering, CSA, mechanical, process, BIM/VDC, QA/QC, commissioning, and project controls.
• Participate in 3D model reviews, clash detection, constructability reviews, and installation planning.
• Review scopes of work and RFPs and assist with contractor bid evaluations and technical scope reviews.
• Monitor electrical construction progress and identify schedule constraints, field issues, and system-readiness concerns.
• Support electrical system energization, startup, commissioning, turnover, and final acceptance.
• Coordinate base build electrical infrastructure with downstream facility, process, and tool-install requirements.
• Maintain compliance with NEC, NFPA, OSHA, project safety requirements, and applicable electrical standards.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of electrical construction experience supporting large industrial, semiconductor, advanced manufacturing, or mission-critical projects.
• Proven experience managing large electrical construction packages.
• Strong knowledge of medium- and low-voltage electrical distribution.
• Experience with substations, switchgear, transformers, electrical rooms, feeders, grounding and bonding, and underground electrical/duct banks.
• Experience with emergency/standby power and temporary construction power.
• Strong field construction and electrical constructability knowledge.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, single-line diagrams, specifications, equipment layouts, and BIM models.
• Experience managing RFIs, submittals, design changes, contractor documentation, and field coordination.
• Proven ability to coordinate electrical contractors, engineers, vendors, commissioning teams, and other project stakeholders.
• Experience supporting electrical energization and commissioning.
• Strong understanding of NEC, NFPA, OSHA, and electrical safety requirements.

Highly

• Direct semiconductor fab base build construction experience.
• Experience with fab/subfab construction and site-wide electrical infrastructure.
• Previous experience as an Electrical Project Manager, Electrical Construction Manager, Electrical Superintendent, or Electrical Area Manager.
• 10+ years of progressively responsible electrical construction experience.
• Background with a major electrical contractor, GC, Owner, EPC, or EPCM organization supporting semiconductor construction.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field.

If you've managed the electrical scope of a semiconductor fab base build and can speak confidently about substations, MV/LV distribution, switchgear, transformers, energization, commissioning, and coordinating electrical construction through a highly congested fab environment, this is the background we're looking for.
