Project Engineer

Position Overview

JLL seeks an experienced Project Management to oversee critical facility projects and capital improvements at Intel's advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities. This role requires managing complex infrastructure projects in a mission-critical 24/7 manufacturing environment where facility performance directly impacts multimillion-dollar production operations. The successful candidate will coordinate cross-functional teams, manage vendor relationships, and deliver projects on time and within budget while maintaining strict cleanroom standards and operational continuity.

Key Responsibilities

Capital Project Management: Lead facility expansion projects, equipment installations, infrastructure upgrades, and building modifications ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars. Develop project scopes, schedules, budgets, and resource plans while coordinating with Intel stakeholders, contractors, and JLL teams.

Construction Coordination: Manage all phases of construction projects including design review, permitting, contractor selection, construction oversight, commissioning, and closeout. Ensure projects meet technical specifications, safety requirements, and cleanroom protocols while minimizing impact to production operations.

Infrastructure & Utilities Management: Oversee projects involving critical systems including HVAC, ultra-pure water systems, chemical delivery infrastructure, specialty gas distribution, electrical power systems, backup generators, and site civil infrastructure. Understand how infrastructure decisions impact manufacturing reliability and production uptime.

Stakeholder Management: Serve as primary point of contact between Intel facility teams, production managers, engineering groups, contractors, and JLL leadership. Facilitate regular project status meetings, manage expectations, and escalate issues appropriately.

Budget & Financial Management: Develop detailed project budgets, track expenditures, manage change orders, and provide regular financial reporting. Identify cost-saving opportunities while maintaining quality and safety standards.
