Completions Manager, Construction

As a Construction Completions Manager you will build the system that takes Tesla's PV cell factory in Brookshire from installed work to a handover manufacturing can start from. The program runs from crystal growth and wafering through cell production, including the central utility building and process utilities. You own construction completion: system boundaries, mechanical completion, turnover, and construction support through startup.

This is a construction role, not a commissioning seat. You sit in Construction. Commissioning is a partner, not your team and not your manager. You do not own commissioning procedures, commissioning sign-off, or the commissioning organization. You are the subject-matter expert in factory startup, system pre-commissioning, commissioning, and turnover, and you use that knowledge to systemize how construction finishes a system and hands it over. You hire and lead the completions team that runs the system after you write it.

• Build and lead a completions team of leads and engineers. Hire people who are expert in mechanical completion, system handover, and construction support to startup. Set the standard, develop them, and get to a team that can run a system family without you in the room
• Systemize construction completion for the site. One set of procedures, completion criteria, walkdown rules, punch priorities, and turnover-dossier content. Ingot, wafer, cell, the central utility building, and process utilities use the same system. Write it down so the standard does not live in one person's head
• Define system boundaries and a completion matrix tied to the factory startup sequence. Status is by system. Contract percent complete is not a handover
• Own mechanical completion and construction handover. A system is complete when it is installed to the design, inspected, tested to the construction standard, cleaned, preserved, labeled, punched to the agreed priority, and documented so Manufacturing, Facilities, or Commissioning can start from the package without reconstructing the job
• Draw the line between construction completion and commissioning, and hold it. You know flushing, cleaning, drying, leak test, preservation, cleanliness, alignment, labeling, and construction test records well enough to say which are construction's on this project and which belong to commissioning. Functional testing, commissioning procedures, and startup acceptance are not this seat. Make that split explicit before the first system is walked
• Sequence completions so utility energization, tool installation, and production ramp are not waiting on an open priority punch, a missing test record, or a system nobody has walked
• Set the turnover package and do not waive it. Marked-up as-builts, inspection and test records, vendor data, operating and maintenance manuals, spares, warranties, preservation logs, and a punch list with an owner and a date. No package, no handover

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, or equivalent experience
• 10+ years in industrial, process, or advanced-manufacturing construction, with real ownership of mechanical completion, construction completions, turnover, or construction support to startup. Not a late add at the end of someone else's job
• Built or led a completions team on a complex, multi-system project. Closing out your own area as an individual contributor is not this seat
• Process or utility systems from installation through a documented handover that a startup team could use. Semiconductor, battery, solar, chemical, pharmaceutical, data center, or similar process-plant work. Greenfield preferred
• Written the completion procedure, defined system boundaries, and stood up the tracking tool. Inheriting a spreadsheet is not the same job.
• Command of P&IDs, system boundaries, inspection and test plans, punch priority, as-built verification, preservation, and cleanliness for process and utility systems, including high-purity water, specialty gas, and chemical systems
• Depth in pre-commissioning and commissioning to know what construction must finish before a system can be started, and to hold that line with the field and with the commissioning counterpart
