Job DescriptionJob Description

Overview

We are seeking a hands-on, technically sharp Assistant Project Manager (APM) or Project Engineer to support an industrial semiconductor construction project for Intel. This is a doer role, not a traditional administrative PE or field superintendent position.

The ideal candidate operates at an APM-level, with strong technical comprehension and direct experience reviewing drawings, interpreting electrical and mechanical one-line diagrams, and supporting spec-driven procurement of complex, made-to-order equipment.

This role plays a critical function within estimating, preconstruction, and procurement, ensuring that all equipment being purchased aligns with drawings, specifications, and Intel standards before orders are finalized.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and electrical and mechanical one-line diagrams.
• Analyze drawings and specifications and distribute them to vendors for pricing and technical review.
• Perform detailed vendor and equipment comparisons, validating compliance with drawings, specs, and Intel requirements.
• Review and compare vendor quotes, submittals, and equipment data sheets line by line.
• Identify and communicate discrepancies between vendor proposals and project or Intel specifications.
• Support and directly handle procurement-related activities, including:
• • Requesting and reviewing vendor pricing
  • Confirming lead times and availability
  • Comparing vendor options and equipment data
  • Verifying quantities and pricing accuracy
• Evaluate and assist in purchasing large, spec-driven, made-to-order equipment, including high-value systems such as generators and other electrical or mechanical infrastructure.
• Review detailed engineering criteria, including:
• • kW capacity
  • Voltage
  • Tier 4 requirements
  • Performance and start-time requirements
• Coordinate with internal estimating, procurement teams, vendors, subcontractors, and Intel representatives to resolve technical or scope-related questions.
• Track vendor communications, responses, and comparison data using Excel and internal tracking tools.
• Support estimating with accurate technical data for scope validation and cost projections.
• Maintain organized documentation for all procurement and vendor-related activities.
• Participate in coordination meetings with internal teams and Intel stakeholders.

Qualifications

• 3–7 years of experience in commercial, industrial, or large-scale construction.
• Proven ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and electrical/mechanical one-line diagrams.
• Direct, hands-on experience with technical procurement or vendor coordination, not just oversight.
• Strong technical comprehension and analytical skills, with the ability to validate equipment against specifications.
• Experience working with non-commodity, made-to-order equipment.
• High proficiency in Excel, document tracking, and construction software (Bluebeam, Procore, or similar).
• Exceptional attention to detail and organization.
• Strong communication skills and comfort coordinating across estimating, procurement, vendors, and owners.
• Experience on industrial, mission-critical, or semiconductor projects is a plus, but not required.
• Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field , but practical experience is equally valued.

What This Role Is Not

• Not a junior PE or purely administrative role.
• Not commodity material purchasing.
• Not a field superintendent position.
• Not title-driven. This role is execution-focused and technically hands-on.
