• Perform QA/QC oversight and inspection of process piping and high-purity system installations.
• Ensure piping installations comply with applicable codes, specifications, drawings, and project quality requirements.
• Serve as a technical resource for Construction Management, Engineering, contractors, and field teams.
• Review piping installations for code compliance, quality, and constructability.
• Inspect welding, joining, fabrication, and installation methods across multiple piping materials.
• Interpret and maintain installation guidelines, quality requirements, technical bulletins, and project documentation.
• Clearly communicate installation and quality expectations to contractors and construction teams.
• Identify nonconforming work and support corrective-action resolution.
• Support inspection and documentation of high-purity systems throughout construction.

Required Experience

• Previous QA/QC or Quality Assurance Representative experience on semiconductor, microelectronics, or major high-tech construction projects.
• High-purity systems weld inspection experience is required.
• Strong process piping construction and inspection knowledge.
• Thorough understanding of industry quality standards for metal, plastic, and hybrid piping systems.
• Strong knowledge of:
• • Stainless steel and carbon steel welding and weld characteristics
  • High-purity piping systems
  • Automatic orbital welding
  • Heat fusion of plastic piping systems
  • Solvent-welded PVC/CPVC systems
  • Threaded and compression connections
  • Face-seal and flared fittings
  • Brazing and soldering
  • Other common process piping joining methods
• Ability to interpret piping drawings, specifications, installation requirements, and applicable codes.

Certifications / Technical Qualifications

Relevant experience or certifications may include:

• ASME B31.3-compliant welding qualifications utilizing SMAW, GTAW, and/or GMAW processes.
• ASME B31.3-compliant automatic orbital welding qualifications for high-purity gas systems.
• George Fischer certification involving PVDF fusion processes such as GF Model IR 63 and/or IR 225.
• PVC/CPVC bonder qualification in accordance with ASME B31.3 Chapter VII.
• Manufacturer certification involving PVC/CPVC solvent-cemented joints, valves, mechanical connections, and associated piping components.

Ideal Background

Candidates coming from semiconductor fabs, microelectronics facilities, cleanrooms, advanced manufacturing, or other high-purity process environments are strongly encouraged to apply.

This position is particularly well suited for an experienced piping quality professional who understands both field installation and the stringent inspection requirements associated with high-purity semiconductor process systems.
