Energy Marshall

FusionIRX•Boise, ID

22h•Onsite

About The Position

The Energy Marshal supports safe, compliant, and efficient execution of construction, pre-commissioning, and start-up activities on a semiconductor fabrication (fab) project. This role serves as the central coordination point for all energy control activities impacting construction and tool hook-up work—spanning electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, gas, and stored energy sources. Working closely with Construction Management, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC), Commissioning (Cx), and Operations/Facilities, the Energy Marshal manages isolations, lockout/tagout (LOTO), and permit-to-work (PTW) processes to enable safe work in a complex, high-tech environment.

Requirements

7+ years of experience in industrial construction, semiconductor construction, power/utility systems, or process plant environments (pharma, chemical, oil & gas, data centers, etc.).
Demonstrated experience leading or coordinating LOTO and energy isolation programs on large, complex projects.
Working knowledge of: Electrical distribution: HV/MV/LV, switchgear, MCCs, panels Mechanical/utility systems: chilled water, DI water, CDA, vacuum, exhaust Hazardous gases/chemicals typical to semiconductor fabs (e.g., toxic/pyrophoric gases, acids, solvents)
Ability to read and interpret one-line diagrams, P&IDs, utility layouts, and construction/commissioning procedures.
Strong communication and coordination skills across multiple contractors and disciplines.
Proficiency with basic digital tools (MS Office) and willingness to use digital PTW/LOTO systems.

Nice To Haves

Direct semiconductor fab experience (greenfield, brownfield, tool install, major expansion).
Prior role as Energy Marshal, LOTO Coordinator, PTW/Permit Coordinator, Authorized Person, or Electrical/Utilities Safety Officer.
Certifications/training such as: NFPA 70E Electrical Safety OSHA 30 (Construction); OSHA 50 or equivalent High-voltage switching or substation operations training HAZCOM / process safety / hazardous materials training
Experience working in cleanroom/sub-fab environments; understanding of contamination controls, access controls, and gowning protocols.
Process piping, pipefitting, welding; familiarity with WWT and UPW systems is highly valued
strong willingness to learn quickly

Responsibilities

Energy Control & Safety Lead implementation and enforcement of Energy Control Procedures (ECPs) and LOTO programs for all construction and commissioning activities within the fab and supporting facilities.
Identify, verify, and document all energy sources, including but not limited to: High/medium/low voltage electrical systems Process gases and ultra-high purity (UHP) gases Chemicals and chemical distribution Vacuum, compressed air, water, thermal systems Stored mechanical energy and other hazardous energy sources
Ensure isolations, locks, tags, and zero-energy verification are in place, validated, and documented prior to starting work.
Coordinate safe energization/de-energization of equipment, tools, and systems (e.g., substations, distribution boards, temporary power, exhaust systems, process utilities).
Maintain strict controls for live work, troubleshooting under power, and deviations from standard isolation practices—ensuring required approvals, controls, and documentation.
Conduct field verifications, pre-job walkdowns, and support job hazard analyses (JHAs) for energy-intensive tasks (tie-ins, tool hook-ups, turnovers, cutovers, start-ups).
Review, authorize, and track permits involving energy hazards, including: Electrical work and HV/MV switching Hot work in cleanroom/support areas Confined space entry (pits, tanks, sub-fab areas) Work on process gases, chemicals, and other hazardous energy systems
Coordinate work windows, isolations, and clearances with Construction, trade contractors, Commissioning, and Facilities/Operations.
Ensure robust documentation and traceability including isolation plans, LOTO logs, switching orders, red-line drawings, and permit closeout records.
Verify removal of locks/tags and safe restoration of systems to service upon completion, including permit closeout and turnover readiness.
Act as the single point of contact and “source of truth” for energy status within assigned areas (e.g., sub-fab, cleanroom, central utility building).
Participate in daily SIMOPS planning, PTW meetings, and coordination calls to align schedule, work fronts, and energy-related constraints.
Communicate energy status, planned shutdowns, start-ups, and isolation changes to impacted contractors and client teams.
Escalate and resolve conflicts (overlapping scopes, competing shutdowns), unsafe conditions, or deviations from procedure—driving alignment across stakeholders.
Ensure compliance with company policies, client standards, and applicable regulations/codes (e.g., OSHA 1910/1926, NFPA 70E, NFPA 70/NEC, relevant SEMI standards).
Maintain current and accurate energy control documentation, such as: Energy status boards One-line diagrams P&IDs and utility drawings Isolation lists and red-lined drawings reflecting field conditions
Support internal/client audits, inspections, and incident investigations related to energy control, LOTO, and PTW.
Contribute to development and continuous improvement of fab-specific ECPs, LOTO standards, and switching/turnover plans.
Coach supervisors, foremen, and technicians on proper energy isolation, LOTO, and permit compliance—especially personnel new to fab environments.
Deliver or support training in energy awareness, electrical safety, process gas/chemical hazards, and semiconductor-specific energy risks.
Promote strong safety culture through hazard identification, near-miss reporting, and active use of stop-work authority for energy-related concerns.
