Construction QA/QC Manager (EPC) — The Owner's Eyes on Every Weld and Pour
McCarran, NV | Full-Time | $110,000 – $145,000
The Opportunity
On a fast-moving industrial megaproject, quality is where reputations are made — and you'll own it. Our client, a rapidly scaling clean energy innovator with an in-house EPC team, is hiring a Construction QA/QC Manager to serve as the owner's quality representative across battery materials manufacturing construction. You'll engage from design onward — setting hold points, building inspection plans, leading inspectors — so quality is built in, not inspected in after the fact.
Why You'll Love It
- Owner's-side authority: You represent the owner, not a sub — your findings drive real decisions
- Full-lifecycle involvement: Design reviews through construction, turnover, and system verification
- Team leadership: Direct internal inspectors, QC coordinators, and third-party agencies
- Nevada advantage: No state income tax, Reno-Tahoe living
What You'll Do
- Lead and develop the project QA/QC function — internal inspectors, QC coordinators, third-party inspection personnel
- Review drawings and specs during design to flag constructability concerns, hold points, and quality requirements before ground breaks
- Develop project-specific Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) and schedule third-party special inspections (structural steel, welding, concrete, fireproofing)
- Contract and manage third-party inspection agencies — scopes, qualifications, schedules
- Perform daily site walks; document risks, discrepancies, and non-conformances
- Verify completed systems against design specs and contract documents
- Audit quality turnover documentation — MTRs, weld maps and logs, PWHT and NDT reports, concrete placement records, bolt tensioning records
- Track and report quality metrics and non-conformance trends to project leadership
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor's in engineering, construction management, or related field (or Associate's/technical diploma with significant field experience)
- 8–10+ years in construction QA/QC or inspection, including supervising QA/QC personnel
- Current CWI certification, or ability to obtain within 12 months
- Working knowledge of ASME B31.3 and AWS D1.1
- Fluency reading civil, structural, mechanical, and piping drawings; ITP development/execution experience
- Valid driver's license; strong organizational and communication skills
- Preferred: 10+ years in industrial/heavy commercial QA/QC, Level II NDT certs (MT, PT, UT), Autodesk Construction Cloud/CXAlloy experience, IBC/OSHA/NFPA code training, experience scaling QA/QC programs across concurrent projects
