Job description

Since 1977, Arizona-based commercial general contractor Willmeng Construction has been committed to staying true to building excellence and preserving the company’s high value to the clients we serve. Willmeng gives back to our community and has been recognized for a multitude of awards for project excellence and company culture including Contractor of the Year by AZRE Magazine, #1 General Contractor by Ranking Arizona, Best Workplace by Inc. Magazine, General Contractor of the Year by NAIOP, and Best Places to Work by Phoenix Business Journal.

Our strategic vision focuses on three fundamental aspects: supporting prelease transactions, maintaining our ability to competitively bid projects small and large, and fostering the “altruistic service” corporate culture established by recruiting highly talented individuals of great character.

The Role

As Director of QA/QC, you will lead and manage the development of a company-wide quality program that reflects industry-leading standards and prioritizes continuous improvement. This role calls for broad expertise in construction quality management — with particular strength in building science — along with active involvement in industry organizations and leadership roles. You'll be instrumental in building scalable QA/QC strategies across diverse market sectors, supporting the company's ambitious growth and commitment to excellence.

What you will accomplish

• Establish, document, and continuously improve a company-wide quality program that reflects industry-leading standards and drives continuous improvement across all market sectors.
• Lead and mentor a multi-disciplinary team of Quality Program Managers, Inspectors, and field staff across multiple regions, and lead quality training programs for Superintendents, Project Engineers, Project Managers, craftsmen, and trade partners.
• Coordinate preconstruction quality planning — including mock-ups, first-in-place inspections, and constructability reviews — ensuring quality expectations are clearly defined in contract documents and addressed early in design coordination meetings.
• Provide expert guidance on construction quality, including building envelope systems, moisture control, thermal performance, and fire/sound-rated assemblies.
• Conduct expert-level field investigations and root cause analysis to support internal reporting and dispute resolution; drive preventive and corrective action plans across all phases, from preconstruction through warranty.
• Develop and implement quality testing and evaluation processes, inspection protocols, and QC documentation standards, reviewing checklists, logs, and reports for accuracy and effectiveness.
• Oversee scheduled and random QC compliance inspections and the associated reporting structure across project teams.
• Build and maintain enterprise-wide quality KPIs and dashboards, reporting performance and non-conformance trends to executive leadership and, when required, regulatory agencies.
• Evaluate and implement Lean Construction and other quality methodologies to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
• Partner with preconstruction, safety, and commissioning teams to identify and mitigate quality risks early in project lifecycles.
• Contribute to industry education and internal best practices by authoring technical content and staying active in industry organizations.
• Support business development by contributing to project pursuit proposals and participating in client interviews as needed.
  

What we would like you to have

• 10+ years of experience in the construction industry, with experience and/or training in a quality management role within a general contracting or construction management environment.
• Thorough working knowledge of construction means and methods, regulatory agency codes, and QA/QC processes.
• Familiarity with Lean Construction or other quality methodologies.
• Proficiency in construction management software platforms (e.g., Procore).
• Thorough knowledge of commercial construction, safety standards, and project management.
• Ability to work independently, take initiative, set priorities, and see projects through to completion.
