About The Position

LotusWorks is seeking an experienced Project Coordinator – Mechanical (Cx Engineer) for a two-phase role supporting a large-scale semiconductor fab build in New Albany, Ohio. The position begins by supporting construction project managers and field teams with mechanical-scope coordination, schedule tracking, trade partner coordination, field quality oversight, and timely reporting. After construction, the role transitions to the Quality and Commissioning team as a Mechanical Commissioning Engineer, taking ownership of systems supported during installation and leading them through testing, commissioning, and turnover. During the construction phase, the employee tracks mechanical work against project schedules, manages submittals and RFIs, follows up on design changes, tracks inspection requests and issues, coordinates with trade foremen and field teams, conducts daily field walks, and prepares weekly status reports and action logs. The employee also supports planning and coordination to keep mechanical systems on schedule and ready for quality and commissioning turnover. During the quality and commissioning phase, the employee performs QA/QC and commissioning inspections on semiconductor facility mechanical systems, witnesses pressure testing, flushing, and cleaning, and verifies compliance with P&IDs, project specifications, and applicable ASME B31.3 requirements. The role includes managing punch-list items, preparing turnover documentation, executing and documenting functional testing, supporting integrated testing and start-up, and coordinating with contractors, vendors, and client stakeholders through system handover and O&M readiness. The work schedule is Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM, approximately 50 hours per week including overtime. Occasional weekend work may be required. The role involves both construction and cleanroom environments.

Requirements

Minimum 3 years of construction site experience.

Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, isometrics, and mechanical layouts.
Familiarity with pressure testing, flushing, cleaning, and commissioning requirements, including ASME B31.3 standards.
Experience managing submittals, RFIs, look-aheads, and issue logs through project close-out.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Smartsheet.
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver clear written status reporting.
Commitment to a strong safety culture and willingness to work in construction and cleanroom environments.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, or a related technical discipline is preferred; equivalent construction, trade, or field experience will also be considered.
Proof of education, licenses, and certifications is required where applicable.

Manage submittals, RFIs, and design-change follow-up between project managers, design teams, and trade partners.
Track inspection requests and issues through the project issues log to closure.
Coordinate with trade foremen and field teams to resolve installation and construction issues.
Conduct daily field walks to monitor installation status, safety compliance, housekeeping, and quality observations.
Prepare weekly status reports, action-item logs, and progress updates for project managers.
Support project planning and coordination to keep mechanical systems on schedule and ready for quality and commissioning turnover.
Execute QA/QC and commissioning inspections on semiconductor facility mechanical systems, including HVAC and make-up air, exhaust and abatement, PCW, UPW, hot and chilled water, CDA, process vacuum, and bulk gas systems.
Witness pressure testing, flushing, and cleaning activities and verify compliance with P&IDs, project specifications, and applicable ASME B31.3 requirements.
Generate, track, and close punch-list items and support compilation of turnover documentation for owner acceptance.
Execute and document functional testing activities and support integrated system testing.
Support system start-up, final turnover, and O&M readiness activities.
Coordinate with contractors, vendors, and client stakeholders to support successful commissioning and handover of mechanical systems.
