Design Team Leader – Advanced Manufacturing Facility

We’re looking for a Design Team Leader to manage the full multidisciplinary design scope for a technically complex, large-scale advanced manufacturing facility. This high-impact role is ideal for a hands-on leader with experience in regulated, high-performance environments such as cleanroom production, precision manufacturing, or mission-critical infrastructure.

You’ll lead cross-functional coordination across architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and automation systems—working closely with construction and commissioning teams to ensure an integrated and buildable design.

What You’ll Do:

• Manage full facility design delivery: architectural, HVAC zoning, clean utilities
• Ensure compliance with GMP-equivalent design standards
• Review and approve P&IDs, layouts, and detailed drawings
• Coordinate internal design staff, external consultants, and subcontracted engineers
• Lead BIM coordination and clash detection workflows
• Drive value engineering to improve efficiency, space, and energy performance
• Interface with permitting authorities and support regulatory design submittals
• Collaborate closely with construction and validation leads to ensure seamless execution
• Mentor junior engineers and reinforce a culture of quality and safety

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or related discipline
• 10+ years of facility design experience, including at least 3 years in clean, high-spec, or controlled environments
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and BIM360
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams under tight schedules
• Strong understanding of environmental controls, contamination prevention, and integrated utility systems

Preferred:

• Experience with Texas-based projects
• Familiarity with commissioning and startup interface
• Exposure to international project teams
• LEED certification or sustainable design experience
• EPCM or Design-Build background.
