QAQC Manager

Job Overview

The QAQC Manager owns quality assurance and quality control for MICU's Idaho semiconductor construction project, with a primary focus on wet mechanical/process utility scope. This role reports to the Project Manager and works closely with the Superintendent, EHS Manager, Material Planner/Controller, construction coordinators, subcontractors, vendors, and client representatives.

This role is responsible for establishing and enforcing quality processes for semiconductor fab construction, including cleanroom work, high‑purity systems, process piping, chemical/gas systems, DI/UPW, HVAC/MEP interfaces, inspection readiness, traceability, turnover documentation, and non‑conformance management.

• Develop, implement, and maintain the Project Quality Management Plan (QMP), Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), quality control procedures, inspection records, turnover requirements, and quality logs.
• Lead QAQC oversight for wet mechanical/process utility work, including high‑purity piping, chemical/gas systems, DI/UPW, PCW/CDA interfaces, exhaust/abatement, HVAC/MEP interfaces, and tool hook‑up support.
• Review drawings, specifications, submittals, material approvals, certifications, traceability records, and client quality requirements.
• Conduct or witness inspections and tests, including material receipt inspection, fit‑up, welding/orbital welding, passivation, pressure/leak testing, cleanliness checks, and final system inspections.
• Manage NCRs, punch lists, CAPA, rework verification, quality meetings, audit findings, and issue escalation to project leadership.
• Coordinate with subcontractors, third‑party testing agencies, vendors, commissioning teams, and client representatives to ensure quality compliance and documentation completeness.
• Support safety and cleanroom/contamination‑control requirements during inspections and field quality activities.
• Compile turnover packages, quality dossiers, inspection records, and handover documentation for commissioning/start‑up.

• 5+ years of construction QAQC experience required, with direct semiconductor, cleanroom, high‑tech, or process utility construction experience required.
• Wet mechanical/process piping/process utility QAQC experience required.
• Engineering degree, trade background, journeyman‑level credential, or equivalent field QAQC technical experience required.
• Applicable QAQC certifications or credentials normally expected for senior QAQC work are required or strongly expected based on discipline and years of experience, such as AWS CWI, ASNT/NDT, ICC, USACE CQM, OSHA 30, or equivalent semiconductor/process utility quality credentials.
• Strong knowledge of ASME B31.3, SEMI standards, NFPA/IBC requirements, cleanroom standards, pressure/leak testing, high‑purity piping, welding/orbital welding, traceability, and turnover documentation.
• Experience using Procore, Bluebeam, BIM 360, SharePoint, Smartsheet, MS Office, or similar quality/document‑control systems.
• Bilingual ability and OSHA 30 preferred if not already included in the candidate's existing credentials.

• Strong quality leadership, documentation control, inspection planning, and subcontractor coordination.
• Ability to identify defects, non‑conformance trends, contamination risks, and documentation gaps early.
• Ability to read drawings, P&IDs, specifications, submittals, test packages, and turnover documentation.
• Strong communication with field teams, client representatives, engineering, vendors, and project leadership.
• Ability to work onsite, wear PPE, perform field walks, and support fast‑paced construction activities.
