Position Summary:

The General Foreman - Plastic Fusion is responsible for overseeing ultra-high purity (UHP) thermoplastic piping installations and tool hook-ups in semiconductor cleanroom environments. This includes supervising multiple foremen and crews, ensuring compliance with OSHA, SEMI, and project-specific protocols, and maintaining the highest standards of installation quality across PVDF, PFA, HDPE, and PPH systems using IR, butt, socket, and hot-gas fusion methods.

This role is pivotal in delivering safe, efficient, and first-pass quality installations that directly support semiconductor manufacturing operations. Success requires strong leadership, technical expertise, and proven ability to coordinate with superintendents, QA/QC, and other trades to meet aggressive tool installation schedules.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and coordinate multiple foremen and crews (fusion technicians, welders, helpers) across cleanroom bays and tool sets.
• Develop and maintain daily and weekly work plans aligned with project milestones and tool installation timelines.
• Conduct pre-task planning (PTP), toolbox talks, and JSAs; ensure readiness before entry into cleanrooms.
• Enforce semiconductor cleanroom standards, including gowning, contamination control, and chemical handling protocols.
• Review and interpret P&IDs, isometrics, and OEM tool hook-up drawings; verify alignment with installation scopes.
• Oversee fusion quality control, ensuring compliance with DVS 2207, ASTM F2620, and OEM specifications.
• Manage pressure and leak testing (helium, nitrogen, hydro) and validate proper documentation for turnover.
• Maintain accurate fusion logs, weld maps, and heat number traceability; support turnover package completion.
• Drive 98%+ first-pass yield rates by coordinating closely with QA/QC and commissioning teams.
• Report daily progress, manpower forecasts, and look-ahead schedules to project leadership.
• Represent the Plastic Fusion discipline during cross-trade coordination, audits, and client walk-downs.
• Mentor and train crews on best practices, safe work, and cleanroom installation techniques.

Qualifications:

• 8+ years of piping installation experience in semiconductor or high-tech industries (cleanroom/UHP required).
• 3-5+ years of supervisory experience (Foreman, General Foreman, or Superintendent).
• Strong technical expertise in UHP thermoplastics (PVDF, PFA, HDPE, PPH) and fusion methods (IR, butt, socket, hot-gas).
• Knowledge of SEMI standards (S2, S8, F15, F81), OSHA 29 CFR 1926, and cleanroom protocols.
• Ability to read/redline 2D/3D piping models (Navisworks, AutoCAD Plant 3D) and P&IDs.
• DVS 2207 or OEM fusion certification preferred.
• NCCER Pipefitter or equivalent journeyman credential preferred.
• Experience with digital fusion loggers and barcode traceability systems is a plus.
• Strong leadership, communication, and cross-trade coordination skills.
• Ability to pass background checks, drug testing, and cleanroom gowning protocols.

Working Conditions:

• Work performed in semiconductor cleanrooms and active construction sites.
• Physical activities include climbing, standing, walking, kneeling, crouching, crawling, lifting, and performing repetitive motions.
• Frequent site inspections with exposure to noise, temperature fluctuations, and construction hazards.
• Must be able to wear cleanroom PPE (bunny suit, respirator) and chemical suits as required during decontamination or flush operations.
• Flexibility to work off-shifts, weekends, or emergency call-outs to support critical tool start-up milestones.
