About This Role

Lead and own the company-wide Quality Management System (QMS) across fabrication shops and industrial construction sites. You’ll build and run an ISO 9001-aligned QMS, lead multi-site QA/QC teams, and make sure work meets client, code, and regulatory requirements (ASME, AWS, API, OSHA). This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll travel to shops and job sites, run audits and inspections, drive root-cause and CAPA work, train and qualify field and shop staff, and act as the primary quality contact for clients and regulators. Competitive salary DOE — typical range $120,000–$150,000 + bonus and benefits.

• Proven experience implementing and maintaining ISO 9001 QMS and managing third-party certification audits.
• Strong working knowledge of ASME, AWS, API codes and OSHA regulations relevant to structural steel, piping and mechanical projects.
• Hands-on skills in drawing/blueprint interpretation, ITP development and enforcement, inspection/test planning and NCR management.
• Experience leading root cause analysis, CAPA, and continuous improvement initiatives (Lean or Six Sigma).
• Willingness to travel frequently to shops and job sites; valid driver’s license and ability to work in field/shop environments.
