Junior Mechanical Field Engineer

Phase One: Construction Support (Project Coordinator)

During the construction phase, you will support Project Managers and field teams by coordinating mechanical scope, tracking project progress, and helping drive successful installation activities.

• Track mechanical scope against the project schedule, including look-aheads, constraints, and trade partner progress.
• Manage submittals, RFIs, and design change follow-up between Project Managers, design teams, and trade partners.
• Track inspection requests and issues through the project issues log to closure.
• Coordinate directly with trade foremen and field teams to resolve installation and construction issues.
• Conduct daily field walks to monitor installation status, safety compliance, housekeeping, and quality observations.
• Prepare weekly status reports, action-item logs, and progress updates for Project Managers.
• Support project planning and coordination activities to ensure mechanical systems remain on schedule and ready for quality and commissioning turnover.

Phase Two: Quality & Commissioning

Following construction activities, you will transition into the Quality and Commissioning team, taking ownership of systems you have supported through installation and leading them through testing, commissioning, and turnover.

• Execute QA/QC and commissioning inspections on semiconductor facility mechanical systems, including HVAC and make-up air systems, exhaust and abatement systems, PCW, UPW, hot and chilled water systems, CDA, process vacuum, and bulk gas systems.
• Witness pressure testing, flushing, and cleaning activities and verify compliance with P&IDs, project specifications, and ASME B31.3 requirements where applicable.
• Generate, track, and close punch-list items and support compilation of turnover documentation for Owner acceptance.
• Execute and document functional testing activities and support integrated system testing.
• Support system start-up, final turnover, and O&M readiness activities.
• Coordinate with contractors, vendors, and client stakeholders to ensure successful commissioning and handover of mechanical systems.

Skills Required

• Minimum 1 year of construction site experience, with previous experience supporting construction, commissioning, quality assurance, or quality control activities on mechanical systems.
• Working knowledge of mechanical and process utility systems such as HVAC and make-up air, exhaust and abatement, PCW, UPW, CDA, process vacuum, and bulk gas systems.
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, isometrics, and mechanical layouts.
• Familiarity with pressure testing, flushing, cleaning, and commissioning requirements, including ASME B31.3 standards.Experience managing submittals, RFIs, look-aheads, and issue logs through project close-out.
