As the Lead Civil Structural Design Engineer in the high-tech semiconductor industry, you will play a pivotal role in the planning, design, and construction of state-of-the-art semiconductor fabrication facilities. This role encompasses both greenfield (new construction) and brownfield (renovation/expansion) projects, where you will lead civil structural design efforts to create cutting-edge, efficient, and compliant semiconductor manufacturing spaces. Your expertise in civil structural engineering will be crucial in ensuring the success and efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

Key Responsibilities:

• The Lead Civil Structural Design Engineer shall be responsible for leading a team of Civil Structural Engineers, Designers and Technicians, ensuring successful project delivery.
• Lead and manage civil and structural design projects for semiconductor fabrication facilities, from conceptual design through construction and commissioning.
• Collaborate with project stakeholders to evaluate potential greenfield sites and assess the feasibility of brownfield expansions, considering factors such as site geology, infrastructure, and environmental impact.
• Develop comprehensive civil and structural designs, including foundations, building structures, utility support systems, and site layouts, in compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate closely with cross functional multidisciplinary teams, including architects, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and contractors, to integrate civil and structural designs seamlessly into overall project plans.
• Ensure that all civil and structural designs meet local building codes, zoning regulations, and environmental and safety regulations, and industry specific standards.
• Incorporate sustainable and energy-efficient design principles into civil structural plans to minimize environmental impact.
• Identify potential risks related to civil and structural aspects of projects and develop mitigation strategies to minimize disruptions and delays.
• Provide technical support during construction, including responding to Requests for Information, reviewing submittals, and conducting site inspections to ensure compliance with design intent.
