How will you CONTRIBUTE and GROW?

 

Air Liquide is looking for an experienced and rigorous Site QA/QC Manager to oversee the quality lifecycle of our latest world-scale industrial gas construction project. In this role, you will be the ultimate guardian of engineering excellence on-site. You will ensure that all civil, mechanical, piping, and electrical installations executed by our contractors meet Air Liquide’s stringent global standards, international codes, and safety regulations.
If you thrive in dynamic construction environments and have a passion for zero-defect execution in high-pressure, cryogenic, or hydrogen systems, we want you on our team.

 

As the Site QA/QC Manager, your day-to-day will involve high-visibility oversight across the construction site:

• QMS Leadership: Deploy, manage, and audit the site-specific Project Quality Plan (PQP) and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs).

• Construction Surveillance: Oversee daily field inspections for mechanical, structural, civil, and E&I activities to ensure full alignment with engineering drawings.

• Welding & NDT Oversight: Manage welding engineering compliance (WPS/PQR), welder qualifications, and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) tracking for high-pressure piping.

• Air Liquide Specialty Standards: Enforce critical specialty quality protocols, including oxygen-cleanliness specifications and cryogenic insulation standards.

• Contractor Management: Lead pre-inspection alignment meetings with subcontractors, witness critical hold points, and manage contractor quality performance.

• Defect & NCR Management: Issue and track Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), leading root-cause analyses to drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).

• Project Handover: Review, compile, and validate contractor Quality Turnover Packages (TOP) and As-Built documentation to ensure a seamless transition to the Commissioning team.

Are you a MATCH?

 

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Metallurgy, or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent technical field experience.

• 8+ years of QA/QC experience on large-scale industrial construction sites (Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, or Industrial Gas plants preferred).

• Technical Certifications: Certified Welding Inspector (AWS-CWI, CSWIP 3.1, or equivalent) and familiarity with NDT methods (RT, UT, PT, MT).

• Codes & Standards: Strong working knowledge of international codes (ASME B31.3, ASME Section VIII, API) and local regulatory frameworks.

• Exceptional leadership skills.

• Collaborative mindset to work alongside HSE and construction teams.

• Uncompromising eye for detail.

This role is fully field-based on an active construction site. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and adhering to strict site safety protocols.

What We Offer

• An impactful, engaging role within a leading global organization.

• A comprehensive compensation package complemented by dedicated site allowances.

• Competitive benefits including health, retirement, and wellness programs.

• The opportunity to work on cutting-edge, sustainable energy and industrial gas technologies.

• A working culture that values safety, diversity, and continuous professional growth.
