Job Overview

The Quality Engineer is responsible for supporting quality engineering activities that enable compliant construction, fabrication, installation, inspection, and turnover of safety-related and quality-affecting structures, systems, components, and services.

• Support quality engineering oversight for construction and fabrication activities to verify compliance with approved procedures, inspection and test plans, design documents, and applicable regulatory and code requirements.
• Apply applicable quality requirements from ANSI N45.2.6 / ASME NQA-1 Civil and/or Mechanical previous experience, ACI Concrete Construction Special Inspector, ASME Section VIII, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 830, project specifications, and customer contract documents across construction and supplier scopes.
• Develop, review, and maintain quality plans, inspection plans, work instructions, checklists, and turnover documentation packages supporting field construction, module fabrication, and equipment installation.
• Coordinate with engineering, construction, procurement, and project teams to help ensure quality requirements are properly flowed down to subcontractors, fabricators, and suppliers and are incorporated into work execution packages.
• Provide quality engineering support for construction and fabrication special processes, including welding, brazing where applicable, nondestructive examination, heat treatment, coating and lining applications, bolting controls, and other qualified processes requiring procedural and personnel qualification.
• Verify implementation of qualified procedures, personnel certifications, material traceability, equipment calibration, hold points, witness points, and required records for special process execution.
• Support fabrication quality activities including source surveillance, shop inspections, receipt inspection, manufacturing record review, nonconformance evaluation, and turnover of objective evidence packages.
• Provide quality engineering support for structural concrete and rebar construction activities, including pre-placement inspections, embed and anchor bolt verification, reinforcement installation, concrete placement, curing, testing, and records review.
• Help ensure construction activities comply with applicable ACI requirements, including ACI 349 and ACI 318 as applicable, ASTM material and test standards, approved mix designs, placement procedures, and project acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate with field engineering, civil and structural teams, inspection personnel, and testing laboratories to verify readiness for work, completion of required examinations, and acceptability of as-built conditions.
• Review quality documentation associated with rebar heat traceability, material certifications, concrete batch records, test reports, inspection reports, and turnover packages.
• Support internal assessments and field verifications to evaluate compliance, identify gaps, and improve execution effectiveness across construction and fabrication organizations.
• Support nonconformance, deficiency, and corrective action processes by performing technical evaluations, assisting with cause analysis, verifying corrective actions, and helping ensure issues are properly documented, trended, and closed.
• Interface with customer auditors, regulators, and project stakeholders during audits, surveillances, code activities, and readiness reviews as assigned.
• Contribute to quality metrics, lessons learned, and process improvements that strengthen construction readiness, supplier performance, records quality, and overall project execution.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Materials, or related technical field plus relevant experience in nuclear, power, EPC, heavy industrial, or other highly regulated construction environments. Equivalent combinations of education and experience may be considered.
• Demonstrated experience in quality engineering, quality assurance, or quality control supporting construction, fabrication, installation, inspection, or supplier quality activities.
• Working knowledge of ASME NQA-1, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 830, ASME Section VIII, and…
