Construction Program Manager - QA/QC - US Semiconductors

Key Responsibilities

• Lead QA/QC programme governance, establishing standards, processes, and controls to ensure consistent execution across projects.
• Develop and maintain Quality Management Plans aligned to corporate standards, regulatory requirements, and lifecycle delivery.
• Define and enforce quality requirements in contracts and execution plans, ensuring alignment across contractors, EPCs, and third-party providers.
• Establish and monitor quality performance metrics, including NCR trends, audit compliance, procedure adherence, and rework, with reporting and dashboards to demonstrate quality plan effectiveness.
• Execute field audits, inspections, and surveillances, ensuring compliance with procedures, codes, and quality control requirements.
• Drive continuous improvement across quality management, leveraging audit findings, field data, and lessons learned to enhance performance and scalability.
• Act as quality subject matter expert, partnering across engineering, construction, commissioning, and operations to resolve issues and align execution.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related technical field.
• 6+ years of experience in construction QA/QC, field inspection, or construction management on large-scale industrial projects.
• Demonstrated experience developing and implementing QA/QC programmes and managing contractor quality performance.
• Proficiency in data analysis and reporting tools (e.g., Excel, PowerPoint, Power BI, or similar project management platforms).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in semiconductor, cleanroom, advanced manufacturing, or other high-tech/regulated construction environments (e.g., oil and gas).
• Familiarity with ISO 9001 principles, risk-based quality systems, and clean build protocols.
• Experience working with third-party testing, inspection, and certification agencies across complex systems.
• Proven ability to drive process adoption, training, and compliance in fast-paced, multicultural environments.

Why This Role?

• Build the quality management framework from scratch — this is a greenfield programme where the quality standards, processes, and governance don't yet exist.
• Enterprise-wide impact — QA/QC standards developed here will apply across multiple U.S. fab construction sites and inform the global programme.
• Genuinely open to adjacent industry backgrounds — oil and gas, pharma, and advanced manufacturing are explicitly acceptable for this role.
• Highly competitive total package: base salary + performance bonus + strong RSU plan + comprehensive benefits.
