Upon joining CSM Group we will provide you with a robust onboarding program to expose you to broad aspects of the organization by meeting with operations, business leaders and peers to better understand how we operate.

SUMMARY:

The Project Engineer (PE) provides technical and administrative support for advanced technology and cleanroom expansion projects, with an emphasis on high purity process systems, controlled environments, and complex phased construction. Rather than focusing on footprint size, this role centers on supporting highly technical installations, stringent cleanroom protocols, and live facility execution.

The PE performs regular field walks to support verification, documentation, and coordination related to cleanroom conditions, process mechanical installations, and safety/quality requirements. These activities are carried out in collaboration with the Construction Manager (CM), CPI, specialty trades, and the Owner, rather than serving as the primary compliance authority.

The role also supports the SPM/PM team with scope development, bid coordination, schedule updates, logistics planning, submittal and RFI management, and construction documentation. The PE gathers pricing, backup, and scope narratives for Change Control Directives (CCDs) under the direction of the project management team. This position reports to the assigned Senior Project Manager. 

It is a full-time, FLSA exempt role requiring 40 hours per week, with flexibility for additional hours as needed. Daily travel to one or more semiconductor job sites is required.
