Job Overview

Marketech International Corporation USA is seeking an experienced Senior QA/QC Lead – Wet Mechanical & Process Utilities to lead quality assurance and quality control activities for a semiconductor construction project in Idaho. This role will report to the Project Manager and work closely with the Superintendent, EHS Manager, Material Planner/Controller, construction coordinators, subcontractors, vendors, commissioning teams, third-party testing agencies, and client representatives.

The Senior QA/QC Lead will establish, implement, and enforce project quality processes for wet mechanical and process-utility construction scopes. Responsibilities include inspection planning, quality documentation, traceability, material verification, testing oversight, nonconformance management, cleanroom and contamination-control compliance, turnover-package preparation, and quality issue escalation.

The ideal candidate has direct semiconductor, cleanroom, high-tech manufacturing, or process-utility construction QA/QC experience, with strong technical knowledge of high-purity piping, DI/UPW systems, chemical and gas systems, process piping, welding, testing, traceability, and turnover requirements. This position requires strong field leadership, technical-documentation discipline, inspection-planning experience, and the ability to drive quality performance in a fast-paced construction environment.

• Conduct field walks and inspections to identify deficiencies, installation concerns, incomplete work, contamination risks, material issues, and nonconforming conditions.
• Confirm that corrected work and rework activities are reinspected and verified before final closure.

Nonconformance, Corrective Action & Quality Issue Resolution

• Identify, document, and manage Nonconformance Reports, quality observations, punch-list items, audit findings, field deficiencies, and documentation discrepancies.
• Coordinate root-cause analysis and corrective and preventive action activities for quality issues, repeat deficiencies, installation errors, and process breakdowns.
• Track quality findings, corrective actions, rework status, testing deficiencies, and required follow-up activities through completion and closeout.
• Escalate significant quality risks, unresolved nonconformances, repeated workmanship concerns, contamination risks, or schedule-sensitive quality issues to project leadership.
• Coordinate with subcontractors, engineering teams, vendors, QA/QC personnel, and client representatives to resolve quality concerns in a timely and practical manner.
• Analyze recurring quality issues and recommend preventive measures, training needs, process improvements, or inspection enhancements.
• Support quality-focused project meetings, subcontractor quality meetings, inspection-readiness reviews, and corrective-action discussions.

Documentation, Traceability & Turnover Support

• Maintain complete, accurate, and organized QA/QC documentation, including inspection reports, ITP records, quality logs, material certificates, calibration records, weld records, test reports, NCRs, punch lists, and corrective-action trackers.
• Ensure material traceability, equipment records, test documentation, inspection approvals, and system turnover records are complete and readily available for project review.
• Review and compile turnover packages, quality dossiers, inspection records, test packages, as-built documentation, commissioning records, and handover deliverables.
