Technical Director - Semiconductor Facilities (Mechanical)

About the role

A global engineering, procurement and construction partner is hiring a Technical Director for its semiconductor fab and cleanroom projects, based in Chandler or Phoenix, Arizona, with openings also in Dallas, Raleigh-Durham and Conshohocken. This is a technical authority role, not a delivery management one: you define the design basis, set direction and challenge assumptions early, so the delivery team receives a concept it can build to.

Key responsibilities

• Own the mechanical concept and design basis for semiconductor fab and cleanroom projects
• Cover load calculations, system selections and design philosophies for cleanroom HVAC and air systems, process cooling water, chilled water, exhaust and abatement, bulk and specialty gases, and central utility buildings
• Act as the senior technical voice with clients at the earliest stages, including feasibility and options studies
• Set technical standards across the mechanical group and review the wider team's output
• Mentor engineers who take the concept forward into detailed design

Required profile

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering; Professional Engineer (PE) required
• Deep experience on large-scale capital projects in facilities or industrial settings such as fabs, cleanrooms, pharma, data centers or comparable high-purity process environments
• Real depth in mechanical utility systems for a manufacturing environment, rather than product or R&D-side design
• The standing to be the most senior technical figure in the room with clients, contractors and consultants
• Based in or willing to relocate to one of the listed locations

What we offer

• Pay from $200,000 base, depending on experience
• Bonus
• Full benefits
