JOB DESCRIPTION

Mechanical Division Quality Control Manager (Corporate)

Department: Operations, Mechanical Division

Reports To: Director of Project Services

Direct Reports: Project-Level Field Quality Managers (multi-region)

FLSA Status: Exempt, Full-Time

Location: Corporate / Multi-Region – oversight across active project sites; regular travel required

Travel: Frequent travel to project and fabrication sites to support and audit field quality managers across all operating regions

Position Summary

The Mechanical Division Quality Control Manager is a corporate-level leadership role responsible for directing and standardizing the quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program for pipe fabrication and field welding across the company's civil and industrial construction projects. This role leads and develops a team of project-level Field Quality Managers deployed across multiple regions and concurrent projects, ensuring consistent application of quality standards, codes, and client requirements company-wide. Rather than performing day-to-day field inspection, this position sets direction for the quality function, allocates and develops quality talent, audits field-level performance, and serves as the point of accountability for mechanical and pipe welding quality across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, manage, and develop a team of project-level Field Quality Managers across all active regions and projects, including workload and project assignment, performance management, coaching, and career development.
• Own and continuously improve the corporate mechanical/pipe welding quality program, establishing standardized processes, templates, and documentation requirements applied consistently by every Field Quality Manager.
• Set company-wide quality standards for compliance with ASME B31.3 and other applicable piping and welding codes, and ensure field quality managers correctly interpret and apply them on their projects.
• Conduct periodic audits of Field Quality Managers' project sites, documentation, and inspection practices; identify gaps in execution and drive corrective action across the division.
• Serve as the escalation point for complex nonconformance reports (NCRs), code interpretation questions, and client quality disputes that exceed project-level authority.
• Standardize and oversee welding personnel qualification tracking (WPS/PQR/WPQ) and NDE/PWHT program requirements across all projects and regions, with Field Quality Managers executing at the project level.
• Recruit, onboard, and train Field Quality Managers and project-level inspection staff; build bench strength and succession depth across the division.
• Establish and monitor quality performance metrics (KPIs) across projects and regions; report trends, risks, and improvement initiatives to executive leadership.
• Represent the mechanical quality function at the monthly Operations Leadership Team meeting and other executive forums, providing visibility into quality performance and emerging risk.
• Partner with regional operations leadership, project management, and safety leadership to align quality staffing and practices with project schedules and budgets.
• Own subcontractor and vendor quality oversight standards, ensuring third-party welding and fabrication work is held to the same code and documentation requirements as internal crews.
• Support project teams during client and regulatory quality audits by deploying and directing Field Quality Managers, and by providing corporate-level oversight and documentation.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives across the division to reduce rework, delays, and quality-related cost impacts, and to raise the consistency of field quality management company-wide.

Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years of progressive QA/QC experience in industrial or infrastructure construction with a focus on pipe fabrication and field welding, including experience leading other quality professionals.
• Proven track record managing and developing a multi-site or multi-region team of Field Quality Managers, inspectors, or QC supervisors.
• AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification required; strong working knowledge of ASME B31.3 and related piping/welding codes and standards.
• Experience building or standardizing a corporate-level quality program applied consistently across multiple concurrent projects.
• Strong background in welding qualification documentation (WPS/PQR/WPQ), NDE methods, PWHT processes, and NCR management at a program level, with the judgment to direct field teams executing these day to day.
• Demonstrated ability to align and influence regional operations leadership and project teams without direct authority over project staffing.
• Strong executive communication skills, with experience presenting quality performance and risk to senior leadership.
• Proficiency with quality management systems and standard reporting tools.

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

• Ability to travel frequently, by air and ground transportation, to conduct site audits and support Field Quality Managers across all operating regions.
• Ability to spend time on active construction and fabrication sites during audits and site visits, including exposure to outdoor conditions, noise, and industrial equipment.
• Ability to wear and use required personal protective equipment (PPE) while on job sites.
• Ability to walk, stand, and navigate active construction sites for extended periods during audits.

Job Type: Full-time

Position may require travel away from home.
