Commissioning Manager – Semiconductor Construction

Boise, ID

Full-Time

We're hiring! Join our team as a Commissioning Manager supporting a high-profile semiconductor construction project in Boise, ID.

In this role, you'll lead and execute commissioning efforts for complex MEP, low-voltage, and process utility systems—including Ultra Pure Water (UPW)—on-site at least 40 hours per week. This is a hands-on leadership position responsible for delivering fully operational, high-performance systems that meet the most rigorous standards in the industry.

What You'll Do:

Commissioning Planning & Oversight

• Develop and manage a comprehensive commissioning plan and schedule, including UPW and process utility systems.
• Lead coordination meetings with contractors, vendors, engineers, and third-party commissioning agents.
• Review commissioning documentation, control sequences, test scripts, and shop drawings for MEP and process systems.

Execution & Quality Control

• Oversee all commissioning levels (L1–L5) and ensure compliance with project specs and semiconductor standards.
• Manage start-up procedures, pre-functional checklists, and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT).
• Commission mission-critical systems: UPS, generators, switchgear, CRAHs/CRACs, BMS/EMS, chilled water, fire protection, telecom/security, and UPW.
• Verify UPW system performance (water quality, flow rates, loop integrity) against client and SEMI standards.

Collaboration & Communication

• Serve as the on-site point of contact for all commissioning-related activities.
• Interface with contractors, facilities teams, and owner's reps to drive alignment and transparency.
• Provide regular progress updates, issue tracking, and milestone reports.

Turnover & Documentation

• Manage final system handover, including test reports, as-builts, and O&M manuals.
• Conduct training sessions with operations staff.
• Support post-commissioning activities, warranty management, and performance verification.

What You'll Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Chemical Engineering, or Construction Management (or equivalent experience).
• 7–10+ years of experience in commissioning or field engineering for semiconductor, industrial, or critical infrastructure projects.
• Direct UPW commissioning experience: DI water generation, polishing loops, reclaim systems, instrumentation, and control logic.
• Strong understanding of mission-critical MEP systems and redundancy configurations (N+1, 2N).
• Familiarity with industry guidelines: ASHRAE, NEBB, SEMI, ACG, Uptime Institute, etc.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Bluebeam, and commissioning software (e.g., CxAlloy, FacilityGrid).
• Strong leadership and communication skills.
• Certifications (CxA, LEED AP, PE) are a plus
