Job Description

Mechanical & Structural Fabrication Quality Systems Manager

Location: Georgetown, SC
Job Type: Full-Time
Industry: Industrial Manufacturing / Fabrication / Construction

Our mission

Deliver industrial projects where quality is measurable, traceable, and undeniable. From first cut to final torque, you’ll ensure every component and assembly meets the drawing, the code, and the customer’s expectation.

Your challenge

Imagine a critical piping spool headed to site. Before it ships, you have verified WPS compliance, confirmed welder qualifications, checked fit-up and dimensional accuracy against drawings and P&IDs, reviewed NDT results, cleared NCRs, and documented material traceability. That same rigor applies across structural frames, mechanical equipment installs, and final system tests—shop and field.

Responsibilities

• Build and sustain the quality management toolkit: procedures, inspection plans, and QA/QC processes.
• Execute and supervise in-process and final inspections for fabrication, manufacturing, and construction.
• Interpret and enforce requirements from drawings, specifications, P&IDs, and customer quality documents.
• Inspect welds, piping, structural steel, and mechanical equipment to verify conformance.
• Ensure strict adherence to codes/standards and company quality benchmarks.
• Lead welding quality controls, including document verification (WPS/PQR) and welder performance qualifications.
• Coordinate required tests and inspections—NDT included—and validate results.
• Maintain accurate inspection reports, certifications, MTRs, and full traceability records.
• Record nonconformances; manage NCR lifecycle and drive effective corrective actions.
• Run data-driven root-cause analysis and implement preventive measures.
• Align quality requirements across Project Management, Engineering, Production, Construction, suppliers, and customers.
• Perform supplier/vendor quality inspections and audits as needed.
• Control and calibrate measurement and inspection equipment per schedule.
• Host and support customer and third-party inspections/audits; respond to findings.
• Oversee quality from project kickoff through final inspection, testing, and completion.
• Foster continuous improvement and elevate quality expectations with employees and subcontractors.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated QA/QC experience in industrial, manufacturing, fabrication, mechanical, or construction environments.
• Quality leadership or supervisory experience preferred.
• In-depth knowledge of fabrication and construction practices.
• Background with welding, piping, structural steel, mechanical equipment, or industrial systems.
• Fluent in reading blueprints, fabrication drawings, specifications, and P&IDs.
• Proficient in inspection practices, documentation, and material traceability.
• Working familiarity with AWS, ASME, ASTM, ISO (or comparable) standards.
• Competence managing NCRs, corrective action programs, and root-cause investigations.
• High attention to detail, strong documentation habits, clear communication, and problem-solving.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and electronic quality/document control tools.

Preferred Certifications/Experience

AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI), NDT, ISO quality systems, ASME standards, welding inspection, mechanical inspection, or industrial fabrication experience.
