Job description

Build quality that lasts. Shape infrastructure that serves millions.

At Thompson Pipe Group in Rialto, CA, you’ll be the quality voice inside a fast-moving precast concrete operation. As our Materials QA/QC Technician, you’ll partner closely with Production to validate that every pipe we ship meets rigorous, project-specific standards. Compensation: $23/hr (DOE).

A day in this role

You start your shift on the plant floor, PPE on and clipboard in hand. First stop: verifying overnight production fabrication, test, and inspection reports. Before the first truck loads, you’re in the lab pulling samples for aggregate tests, preparing bar specimens for steel tensile test reports, and coordinating joint assembly test reports for today’s runs. Throughout the day you coach operators who carry QC responsibilities, spot-check cure results, and document anything that needs follow-up. When a project has special specifications, you’re the one aligning the team to those extra quality procedures. You wrap with data entry, sign-offs, and a quick huddle with the supervisor on tomorrow’s priorities.

What you’ll take on

• Monitor all aspects of quality under the supervision and direction of the supervisor
• Complete and maintain steel tensile, aggregate, and joint assembly test reports
• Compile production fabrication, testing, and inspection documentation
• Assist Production personnel carrying quality control duties
• Ensure compliance with any additional or special QA procedures required by project specs
• Pitch in on other tasks as assigned

What you bring

• ACI Field Grade 1 certification required
• High school diploma or GED
• Background in QA or Production within a related industry preferred
• Familiarity with concrete technology, welding, and NDE/NDT a plus
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• Bilingual English/Spanish capability

Physical and work environment

• Lift up to 50 lbs; stand, walk, and stoop throughout the shift
• Keep pace with manufacturing requirements and consistent attendance
• Operate tools and equipment safely; perform strenuous work in outdoor conditions (dust, rain, wind)
• Comfort using PPE: earplugs, hard hat, steel-toed boots, gloves, safety glasses

Not a warehouse role - this is hands-on precast concrete pipe manufacturing.
