Project Overview: Bechtel is building a semiconductor manufacturing plant in New Albany, Ohio. Bechtel will design and build Phase 1 of the Ohio One project, a total of 2.5 million square feet, including 600,000 square feet of cleanrooms. Construction will require as much steel as eight Eiffel Towers and as much concrete as the tallest skyscrapers.
Bechtel will strengthen future economic development in the region by partnering with the North America Building Trades Unions and suppliers to create several thousand new jobs and work with local education organizations to implement new training programs that will support the future talent pipeline.
Job Summary: The Piping Workface Planner is responsible for developing and maintaining Installation Work Packages (IWPs) for piping construction scopes in accordance with the project Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) program. Reporting to the AWP Manager, you will independently translate Construction Work Packages (CWPs) into field-ready, constraint-free IWPs that give piping superintendents, foremen, and craft everything they need to install work safely, efficiently, and in the correct sequence.
The successful applicant will work closely with piping field engineers, superintendents, project controls, materials management, the fabrication shop and spool yards, design engineers, and other discipline planners to identify and remove constraints, verify spool and bulk material availability, and maintain a backlog of released work packages that supports the construction schedule across the Fab, support buildings, utility facilities, and underground scopes. #LI-BM1
Major Responsibilities: - Independently develop Installation Work Packages for piping scopes, including above and below ground piping, process and utility piping, high purity and specialty systems, pipe supports, valves and in-line components, and tie-ins.
- Break down Construction Work Packages into IWPs sized to the project's AWP requirements, with clear scope boundaries, work steps, and installation sequence based on isometrics, spool lists, and test package boundaries.
- Assemble package content, including isometrics, P&IDs, spool and support lists, line lists, piping specifications, weld maps, material lists, ITP and inspection hold points, safety and permit requirements, and quantity and budgeted hours.
- Identify and track package constraints such as engineering holds, RFIs, spool and bulk material shortages, supports, scaffolding, rigging, access, predecessor work, and permits, and work with the responsible groups to remove them before release.
- Verify spool and bulk material availability through the project materials management system, and coordinate with the warehouse, spool yard, and fabrication shop on reservations, staging, and issuing for released packages.
- Align IWP boundaries with pressure test package and system turnover boundaries, and coordinate with the pipe testing group so installation sequence supports testing and mechanical completion.
- Coordinate with piping field engineers on design changes, field change documentation, field welds, and constructability issues affecting work packages.
- Maintain a backlog of constraint-free IWPs ahead of the construction look-ahead schedule, and lead package review and release discussions in weekly planning meetings with superintendents and project controls.
- Perform field walkdowns to confirm package scope, access, and site readiness, and to verify field progress against package content.
- Track IWP status, installed quantities, weld progress, and package closeout, and provide progress, forecast, and backlog data to project controls.
- Close out completed work packages, ensuring redlines, weld records, inspection records, and quality documentation are complete and turned over for as-built and turnover requirements.
- Coordinate interfaces with other discipline workface planners, including civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical, to resolve sequencing and area conflicts.
- Use project AWP and 3D model tools to extract package information and visualize scope, sequence, and constraints.
- Provide guidance and on-the-job support to junior workface planners on package development and AWP processes.
- Complete training requirements assigned.
Education and Experience Requirements: - Requires bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) and 5-8 years of relevant experience or 9-12 years of relevant work experience.
Required Knowledge and Skills: Basic Qualifications- Intermediate to proficient understanding of piping construction methods, including spool installation, field welding, supports, valves and in-line components, and above and below ground installation.
- Ability to read and interpret isometrics, P&IDs, orthographics, spool drawings, line lists, piping specifications, and other design drawings.
- Working knowledge of Advanced Work Packaging principles, including CWPs, IWPs, constraint management, and package release and closeout.
- Familiarity with ASME B31.3 and its welding, examination, and pressure testing requirements as they affect package content and sequence.
- Understanding of applicable Bechtel work processes, including Standard Work Process Procedures and the Bechtel Core Processes related to the area of responsibility.
- Knowledge and understanding of the Project Environmental, Safety & Health (ES&H) Handbook and Bechtel's "Zero Accidents" safety program.
- Computer literate in word processing, spreadsheet, and database applications.
- Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving ability.
- Work includes field inspections and the physical ability to conduct field inspections which require the following activities: extensive walking in and around a construction site, climbing ladders, climbing scaffolding, working on elevated platforms, working on uneven surfaces, and working in small or confined spaces.
Preferred Qualifications- Workface planning or work packaging experience on large industrial, power, petrochemical, or semiconductor projects.
- Experience with AWP and 3D model tools such as Navisworks, and with project scheduling software such as Primavera P6.
- Familiarity with Bechtel Standard Applications (BSAPs), including TEAMWorks, Aconex, Bechtel Productivity System, and other automation tools used on Bechtel projects.
- Experience in semiconductor fabrication facilities, including process piping, high purity systems, and specialty gas and chemical distribution.
