Process Piping Quality Assurance Inspector (Semiconductor)

About SemiConX

Based in Dayton, TX, SemiConX delivers end-to-end engineering and construction services for the semiconductor sector. Led by industry veterans in MEP and CSA, we are driven by a mission to execute projects that meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and environmental stewardship.

Your Day in This Role

Morning: You start by reviewing the day’s Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) and confirming welder qualifications against approved WPS/PQRs. You scan material heat numbers to verify traceability and confirm MTR documentation aligns with purchase specs.

Midday: On the deck plates, you conduct Level II Visual Testing (VT) of weld fit-up, reinforcement, and profile. You compare piping isometrics and P&IDs to as-built conditions, check joint cleanliness for high-purity service, and flag any deviations. When pressure tests are scheduled, you witness and document the test, ensuring acceptance criteria are met and recorded.

Afternoon: You log inspection results, issue and track non-conformances, and collaborate with construction and QA leads to recommend corrective actions. You prepare for upcoming client audits, confirm alignment with ASME, API, and project-specific standards, and support quality walkdowns, punch-list completion, and turnover documentation.

What You Will Do

• Execute QA/QC inspections on process piping to verify compliance with codes, standards, client specifications, approved drawings, and project quality requirements.
• Perform VT examinations to evaluate welds, fit-up, finishes, and overall piping integrity.
• Interpret piping isometrics, P&IDs, welding procedures, and material certifications to validate work.
• Confirm welder qualifications and that work follows approved WPS requirements.
• Review ITPs and validate that all required inspections and tests are completed and documented.
• Verify material traceability and maintain MTR documentation throughout fabrication and installation.
• Witness and document hydro/pneumatic pressure testing per project criteria.
• Maintain inspection reports, quality records, and nonconformance documentation with precision.
• Partner with field teams to resolve quality issues and drive corrective/preventive actions.
• Ensure adherence to ASME, API, and other project or client standards.
• Support internal and client audits and participate in quality walkdowns, punch lists, and turnover activities.

What You Bring

• CWI certification (required).
• Level II Visual Testing (VT) certification (required).
• OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification.
• Demonstrated QA/QC experience with process piping systems.
• Working command of ASME, API, and related industry standards.
