Role

Applied Materials expects over the next five years to have the most exciting and active project pipeline in its history. The Global Workplace and Infrastructure (GWI) team at Applied Materials is responsible for all facilities, from acquisition through operation to disposition.

The Sr. Manager of Technical Infrastructure will oversee newly established projects within Arizona, taking responsibility for all aspects of technical facilities requirements for new labs, fabs and other related development projects. Including: helping to build and lead a central team of resources that provide a range of support critical for efficient, consistent, and successful project delivery.

Project types include advanced semiconductor R&D labs, large scale manufacturing, logistics infrastructure, and offices. The position is based in the greater Phoenix Arizona area and will report to the Director, Technical Infrastructure (Santa Clara).

The Technical Infrastructure team is accountable for lab space and system planning, tool install planning, design and construction, and lab facility operations.

This role will manage a small team of direct reports and scale as the business needs dictate. As a regionally organized function, the GWI team has resources at many of our locations globally. While those regional teams are primarily accountable for the entire life-cycle of their facilities (lease/buy, design, construct, and operate), the experience and bandwidth available does not always align to the project complexity or peak workloads that the construction projects demand.

The Arizona based Technical Infrastructure team will be responsible to collaborate across the corporate resources available as well as compliment the local teams to complete the experience and bandwidth needed for a particular project's success.

This leader will be responsible for establishing highly credible and effective partnerships with multiple internal business groups for whom the labs support. Additionally, developing and optimizing and high-performing supply base to support all aspects of the function will be critical for success.
