Job Title: Commissioning Manager – Semiconductor Construction
Location: Boise, ID
Employment Type: Full-Time
Industry: Semiconductor Construction
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
