ST Microelectronics, Phoenix, Arizona

Steve Talbott’s involvement consisted of:

Electrical BIM Coordination

Leveraged AutoCAD and early Revit workflows (or 2D CAD equivalents) to support MEP coordination within cleanroom environments — ensuring clash-free design integration for critical systems.

Material Take-Offs & Cost Estimation

Developed detailed electrical estimates and BOMs for semiconductor clean spaces, high-voltage distribution, and specialty equipment — aligning with STMicro’s push toward energy efficiency.

Cleanroom & Utility Infrastructure Design

Collaborated on design elements for ultra-clean facilities, especially power distribution systems, backup generation, and controls supporting 24/7 operational reliability.

Field-Driven Design Improvements

Injected value engineering from your journeyman electrician background — optimizing installation feasibility and guiding constructability reviews.

Cross-Disciplinary Coordination

Worked closely with M+W Zander’s integrated teams (HVAC, process, structural) to align electrical solutions with Fab protocols, ISO cleanroom standards, and EU directives.
