  • Verify proper material control, traceability, storage, handling, cleanliness, and segregation of process piping materials.
  • Support inspection and documentation of welded, orbital-welded, brazed, threaded, flanged, compression, fusion-welded, and high-purity piping systems.
  • Review and verify pressure test packages, leak test results, hydrostatic testing, pneumatic testing, helium leak testing, flushing, passivation, drying, and cleanliness records.
  • Coordinate with engineering, construction, commissioning, safety, operations, and tool install teams to resolve quality issues.
  • Track nonconformance reports, quality observations, punch list items, RFIs, field changes, and corrective actions through closure.
  • Participate in system walkdowns, pre-functional inspections, commissioning readiness reviews, and turnover package reviews.
  • Confirm contractors maintain complete and accurate turnover documentation, including test records, weld maps, material certs, inspection reports, redlines/as-builts, calibration records, and commissioning support documentation.
  • Identify risks to quality, safety, schedule, cleanliness, operability, or maintainability and escalate issues to owner leadership.
  • Support continuous improvement, lessons learned, and standardization of piping quality processes.

Required Qualifications
  • Minimum 7-10 years of process piping construction, QA/QC, commissioning, or owner's representative experience.
  • Experience on semiconductor, pharmaceutical, data center, battery, chemical, petrochemical, cleanroom, or other advanced manufacturing projects preferred.
  • Strong knowledge of process piping installation practices, inspection requirements, and testing methods.
  • Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, isometrics, plan drawings, specifications, spool drawings, weld maps, test packages, and vendor documentation.
  • Familiarity with applicable codes and standards such as ASME B31.3, ASME BPE, AWS, SEMI standards, CGA, NFPA, and project-specific owner standards.
  • Experience with high-purity piping, stainless steel tubing, specialty gas, bulk gas, chemical distribution, UPW, PCW, CDA, vacuum, and wastewater systems preferred.
  • Knowledge of welding, orbital welding, fusion welding, brazing, mechanical joining, pressure testing, leak testing, flushing, passivation, and cleanliness requirements.
  • Strong documentation, communication, field inspection, and issue-resolution skills.
  • Ability to work effectively with contractors, engineers, inspectors, commissioning teams, safety personnel, and owner stakeholders.

  • AWS CWI, API 570, ASME, NACE, OSHA 30, or equivalent quality/safety certification preferred.
  • Experience with high-purity gas and chemical systems.
  • Experience with QA/QC databases, turnover systems, Procore, BIM 360, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Aconex, Bluebeam, or similar platforms.
