Construction QA/QC ManagerThe Construction QA/QC Manager is responsible for leading and executing quality assurance and quality control processes across piping systems and related disciplines for semiconductor construction projects. This role ensures that all installations meet applicable codes, standards, and client specifications, with a strong focus on high-purity systems. In addition to piping, the role has responsibility for overseeing quality processes related to Electrical, Instrumentation, and Controls (EIC) systems. The QA/QC Manager works closely with engineering, construction, commissioning teams, and subcontractors to ensure consistent quality execution across all project scopes.Essential DutiesLead QA/QC activities for piping, electrical, instrumentation, and controls (EIC) scopesDevelop and implement project-specific Quality Management Plans (QMPs) and inspection/test plans (ITPs)Oversee inspection, testing, and verification of high-purity and process piping systems (UPW, gas, chemical lines), electrical systems and installations, and instrumentation and control systemsEnsure proper installation and quality control for piping systems utilizing stainless steel, PVDF, and polypropylene (PolyPro) materialsVerify compliance with ASME B31.3, SEMI standards, applicable electrical codes (e.g., NEC), and client and project specificationsReview and approve QA/QC documentation, including isometric drawings and P&IDs, electrical and instrumentation drawings, weld maps and loop check documentation, test packages and system turnover documentationManage and coordinate NDE/NDT activitiesCoordinate with subcontractors to ensure their QA/QC programs align with internal and client requirements, including conducting audits and ongoing performance monitoringAttend project meetings with clients and subcontractors, documenting meeting minutes, action items, and follow-ups to ensure accountability and timely resolutionSupport pre-commissioning and commissioning activities, including system walkdowns and punch list managementMaintain complete and accurate QA/QC records for project closeout and auditsTrack, document, and resolve non-conformance reports (NCRs) and corrective/preventive actionsReportings & KPIsDevelop and maintain QA/QC dashboards and reporting for internal leadership and client stakeholders. Provide regular reporting on inspection and test completion rates, NCR volume, aging, and closure rates, rework rates and quality trends, subcontractor quality performance metrics, and turnover package completion and readiness status. Track and drive performance against key KPIs, including first-pass yield/right-first-time installation rates, NCR closure within defined timelines, reduction in rework and punch list items, on-time completion of inspections and test plans (ITPs), and subcontractor compliance and audit scores. Identify trends and implement continuous improvement initiatives based on quality data and root cause analysis. Present QA/QC performance updates in project meetings and leadership reviews.Working Hours / Working StyleMonday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with unpaid lunchtime.
