Sr. Construction Manager, Semiconductor Tool Install

About the role

Sr. Construction Manager, Semiconductor Tool Install | Tesla (Construction & Facilities)

Location: AUSTIN, Texas | Req ID: 279144 | Job Type: Full-time

What to Expect

As a Sr Construction Project Manager, Tool Install, you will own the end-to-end installation and bring-up of front-end and back-end process equipment — from facilities hookup and vendor coordination through tool qualification and production readiness.

You will work side-by-side with process engineering, facilities, EH&S, and OEM field service teams in a high- velocity fab environment where schedule, safety, and tool performance are non-negotiable. This is a hands-on role for engineers who thrive in cleanroom builds, enjoy solving multi-disciplinary install problems, and want to see tools go from crate to qualified production faster than industry norms.

What You'll Do

• Lead semiconductor process tool installation programs from site prep and rigging through mechanical, electrical, and process-utility hookup to first wafer and production qualification
• Coordinate facilities hookups including ultra-pure water (UPW), process gases, bulk and specialty chemicals, vacuum, exhaust, and process cooling water (PCW)
• Support manufacturing operations during critical install windows, tool qualifications, and production ramp including extended shifts and on-call response as needed
• Working knowledge of fab process utilities — UPW, specialty gases, chemical delivery, vacuum, exhaust scrubbers, PCW, and clean dry air — and how they interface with process tools
• Strong project coordination skills: multi-trade scheduling, vendor management, punch-list tracking, and clear status communication to leadership

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 4+ years of hands-on experience installing, commissioning, or sustaining semiconductor process equipment in a wafer fab, foundry, or advanced packaging environment (fab equipment engineering, or facilities tool install experience preferred)
• Proven commitment to safety culture — LOTO, confined space awareness, chemical and gas safety, and cleanroom contamination control
• Willingness to work flexible hours, nights, weekends, and compressed schedules during critical install and ramp phases
• Prior tool install or facilities tool-install technician/engineer experience at a high-volume memory, logic, or foundry fab
• Experience leading multi-tool install campaigns during greenfield fab builds or major capacity ramps
