QA​/QC Welding Inspector

The Senior QA/QC Inspector supports complex semiconductor construction projects by leading quality inspections, welding inspections, turnover activities, and implementation of project-specific quality plans. This role is critical in aligning newly acquired operations with established QA/QC procedures and ensuring that high-purity process systems, pipe and tube installations, and cleanroom construction meet stringent industry and client standards. The position requires a seasoned inspector who can operate independently with minimal training while collaborating closely with project management, construction supervision, and key stakeholders to deliver successful, compliant projects.

• Perform comprehensive QA/QC inspections on semiconductor construction projects, focusing on high-purity piping, process systems, and mechanical installations.

• Review installations for compliance with applicable codes, project specifications, and internal quality standards.

• Conduct detailed weld inspections, including TIG and orbital welds, to verify weld quality and adherence to UHP welding requirements.

• Prepare and maintain thorough inspection documentation, including reports, records, and photographic evidence as needed.

• Manage punch lists by identifying deficiencies, documenting findings, tracking resolution, and verifying corrective actions.

• Support turnover activities by assembling and reviewing turnover packages, ensuring all required documentation and inspections are complete.

• Lead mechanical completion inspections and field walkdowns to confirm system readiness and compliance prior to client acceptance.

• Track deficiencies and non-conformances, coordinate with construction teams to address issues, and verify that rework meets quality standards.

• Provide client acceptance support by participating in walkthroughs, responding to technical questions, and presenting inspection results.

• Implement and enforce project quality plans, ensuring consistent application across newly integrated operations and existing procedures.

• Collaborate closely with project management, construction supervision, commissioning, and operations teams to resolve quality issues and maintain schedule.

• Offer mechanical quality oversight for process piping installations and related systems in cleanroom, subfab, and fab environments.

• Support tool installation projects by verifying that associated piping and mechanical systems meet semiconductor and high-purity requirements.

• Operate independently in the field with minimal training, making sound technical judgments and escalating issues appropriately.

• Maintain strong documentation and reporting practices to provide transparency and traceability for all inspections and quality activities.

• At least 5 years of QA/QC inspection experience in construction or industrial environments.

• Strong background in field inspections, including mechanical and piping systems.

• Hands-on experience inspecting pipe and tube welding, with emphasis on high-purity and process piping installations.

• Proven ability to perform weld inspections, including TIG welding inspection and verification of weld quality.

• Knowledge of UHP (Ultra High Purity) process systems and UHP welding practices.

• Familiarity with orbital welding processes and related inspection requirements.

• Experience in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, or advanced manufacturing environments, particularly cleanroom and fab construction.

• Understanding of turnover and walkdown processes, including mechanical completion and client acceptance procedures.

• Strong documentation and reporting skills with attention to detail and accuracy.

• Ability to work onsite daily in a…
