Coating Field Engineer

Job Description
Project Overview:
Fab 62 is an advanced semiconductor fabrication facility for Intel Corporation, located at Intel's Ocotillo campus in Chandler, Arizona. As part of this work, the M&T team is responsible for delivering the engineering, procurement, and construction scope required to complete and finish-out a leading-edge chipmaking facility — a highly demanding environment where precision, cleanliness, schedule certainty, and coordination across thousands of craft and professional personnel are essential to success. The project supports the continued expansion of domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity, contributing to a more resilient technology supply chain while creating significant opportunity for the local Arizona workforce. Joining the Fab 62 team means contributing directly to one of the most strategically important construction efforts in the United States and helping deliver the infrastructure behind the next generation of microelectronics.

Job Summary:
The Coating Field Engineer is responsible for planning, coordinating, and providing technical oversight of protective coating and lining systems installed on the project. The role ensures coating work is executed in accordance with project specifications, quality requirements, environmental conditions, and construction schedules. The Coating Field Engineer serves as the primary technical interface between engineering, construction, quality, subcontractors, and project management for coating scope and supports planning, inspection, turnover, and issue resolution throughout project execution.. #LI-CL1

Major Responsibilities:
Technical Execution
•    Interprets coating specifications, surface preparation requirements, manufacturer recommendations, and project quality standards.
•    Reviews coating and lining systems for constructability, sequencing, environmental constraints, and field execution feasibility.
•    Supports resolution of technical issues, field changes, RFIs, and coating-related nonconformances.
•    Ensures coating systems are installed in accordance with project specifications, manufacturer requirements, and applicable industry standards.

Planning and Work Packaging
•    Supports development of construction work packages and field execution plans for coating activities.
•    Coordinates coating scope with civil, structural, mechanical, piping, insulation, commissioning, and turnover activities.
•    Identifies and removes constraints impacting coating readiness, including access, scaffolding, environmental controls, material availability, and preceding work completion.
•    Participates in look-ahead planning and workface readiness reviews.

Quality Management
•    Verifies surface preparation, environmental conditions, coating application, curing, and final inspection activities.
•    Coordinates inspections including DFT measurements, adhesion testing, holiday testing, environmental monitoring, and coating acceptance activities.
•    Ensures required inspection records, test reports, and turnover documentation are complete and accurate.
•    Supports NCR resolution, punch closure, and corrective action implementation.

Progress and Performance Management
•    Tracks installed quantities, productivity, and progress against project plans.
•    Supports forecasting of labor requirements, material needs, and installation durations.
•    Monitors subcontractor performance and identifies risks to schedule, quality, or productivity.
•    Provides accurate reporting of coating progress, issues, and forecasted completion dates.

Coordination and Stakeholder Management
•    Coordinates daily with construction supervision, subcontractors, quality personnel, field engineering, and project management.
•    Supports mechanical completion, turnover, commissioning, and startup activities by ensuring coating scope is completed and documented.
•    Participates in walkdowns, readiness reviews, and turnover activities

Education and Experience Requirements:
