Fab Safety and Emergency Response Expert

About the Role

Mercor is seeking specialized semiconductor fab safety and emergency response experts to produce and audit high-quality documentation concerning facility hazards and emergency protocols. This role requires deep technical proficiency in cleanroom environments to ensure safety procedures remain compliant with industry standards and highly effective in practice. This is a remote, part-time consulting position intended for professionals who can bridge the gap between technical fab operations and rigorous safety compliance.

Requirements

• Qualified candidates must possess at least three years of professional experience as an EHS engineer, emergency response team member, fab facilities or sub-fab engineer, electrical safety engineer, or as an occupational health nurse or EMT.
• It is essential that you have direct, hands-on experience working inside an operating semiconductor fab or performing fab-floor work for a semiconductor equipment or gas supplier within the last eight years.
• You must have comprehensive knowledge of specific fab hazards, including toxic and pyrophoric gases, hydrofluoric acid and wet chemicals, gas detection systems, and cleanroom evacuation procedures.
• Experience limited solely to office-based compliance, audit work, or general manufacturing safety without cleanroom or hazardous production material exposure will not be considered.
• Additionally, you must be able to write clearly and effectively in English.

Responsibilities

• Your primary responsibilities involve reviewing existing safety documentation and creating new, expert-level content focused on fab-floor safety.
• You will apply your technical understanding of semiconductor facilities to address complex hazards and refine emergency response procedures.
• While not strictly required, candidates who have participated in real-world fab incident responses, such as gas alarms, chemical spills, evacuations, or earthquakes, or who have served in incident commander roles are highly encouraged to apply.
• Familiarity with industry-standard safety benchmarks such as SEMI S2, S8, or S22, as well as NFPA 318, is considered a significant asset.
• Furthermore, expertise in utility management, abatement systems, gas cabinets, or tool hook-ups, along with professional safety certifications like CSP, CIH, ASP, HAZWOPER, or CHMM, will be viewed favorably.

Benefits & Perks

• This role offers a fully remote work arrangement with a flexible schedule of approximately ten hours per week, compensated at a rate of 85 dollars per hour.
