Design, Projects & Commissioning
Support the design, installation, startup, and commissioning of new mechanical utility systems.
Review and interpret:
P&IDs
Mechanical drawings
HVAC drawings
Equipment specifications
Control schematics
Develop technical specifications and construction packages.
Coordinate with project teams, equipment vendors, contractors, and manufacturing stakeholders.
Support fab expansion projects, infrastructure upgrades, and capacity increases.
Lead mechanical utility projects through planning, design, installation, commissioning, and turnover to operations.
Develop technical calculations and engineering evaluations for piping networks, pumping systems, ventilation systems, and utility infrastructure.
Create and maintain project schedules using Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Project to support maintenance activities, shutdowns, capital projects, and facility expansions.
Coordinate multidisciplinary project activities involving Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls (I&C), Process Gas, Chemical Distribution, Water, Wastewater, and Manufacturing teams.
Serve as the mechanical lead during project execution, ensuring design intent, schedule, safety, and operational requirements are achieved
Compliance, Safety & Documentation
Ensure compliance with:
OSHA requirements
Environmental regulations
Wolfspeed engineering standards
Site safety procedures
Conduct risk assessments and participate in MOC (Management of Change) processes.
Maintain accurate engineering documentation, SOPs, PM procedures, and operating standards.
Support safety audits, incident investigations, and corrective action implementation.
Data Analysis & Technical Reporting
Utilize data analytics tools to monitor system health and performance trends.
Generate reports on:
Reliability performance
Downtime events
Energy consumption
Capacity utilization
Continuous improvement initiatives
Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Failure Mode investigations, and reliability improvement efforts.
Develop KPIs and dashboards for critical utility systems.
Leadership, Coordination & System Ownership
Serve as the system owner and technical authority for assigned mechanical utility systems.
Provide technical leadership and direction to operations, maintenance, contractors, and project teams.
Coordinate maintenance, reliability, and improvement activities across multiple organizations and disciplines.
Work closely with maintenance supervisors and managers to prioritize corrective actions, preventive maintenance activities, and system improvements.
Influence and drive actions through collaboration, as maintenance technicians and craft personnel do not directly report to the Mechanical Engineer/System Owner.
Facilitate communication and alignment between Facilities Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Manufacturing, EHS, and Capital Projects teams.
Lead cross-functional problem-solving efforts and root cause investigations involving mechanical, electrical, controls, process gas, chemical, water, and wastewater systems.
Ensure system lifecycle management, capacity planning, reliability improvements, and long-term asset strategies are effectively executed
