About The Position

As Construction Quality Supervisor, you will lead field execution of the construction quality organization supporting HTGR reactor deployment and associated infrastructure projects in Orangeville, Utah. This role sits directly within active construction operations and is responsible for ensuring disciplined, traceable, and technically defensible construction execution across multiple subcontracted trades including geotechnical, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and industrial construction activities. Valar Atomics will act as the general contractor for its nuclear construction projects, requiring this role to provide direct quality oversight and coordination across diverse subcontractor organizations operating simultaneously within demanding field environments. You will lead Construction Quality Technicians and Inspectors while working closely with construction management, engineering, subcontractors, craft labor, supplier quality, and operational leadership to ensure quality requirements are understood, executable, and consistently implemented under real-world construction conditions. This role is highly operational and hands-on. You will coordinate inspections, verification activities, hold points, traceability systems, turnover documentation, and controlled work execution while helping maintain project momentum under aggressive schedules and evolving technical conditions. Success in this role requires strong field leadership, multidisciplinary construction experience, technical judgment, operational awareness, and the ability to maintain execution discipline without creating unnecessary bureaucracy or disruption.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent required; technical degree or engineering-related education preferred.
• 10+ years of experience supporting quality execution within industrial construction, nuclear construction, power generation, heavy industrial, aerospace, semiconductor, defense, or similarly demanding technical environments.
• 5+ years of experience leading field quality personnel, inspection teams, or construction quality execution activities.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, construction work packages, technical procedures, inspection requirements, and controlled documentation.
• Familiarity with construction verification activities, inspection methods, material traceability systems, turnover documentation, and regulated quality systems.
• Comfortable working within active construction environments including outdoor conditions, elevated structures, confined spaces, industrial noise, dust, vibration, and changing environmental conditions while following all safety protocols.
• Flexible and willing to support demanding project schedules including extended hours, weekends, and rapid-response field problem solving when necessary.

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience supporting nuclear construction projects, NQA-1 environments, DOE projects, ASME-related construction activities, or similarly regulated technical programs.
• Multidisciplinary construction quality experience spanning civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, welding, piping, fabrication, and industrial installation activities.
• Experience coordinating quality execution across multiple subcontractors and construction interfaces within general contractor environments.
• Familiarity with nonconformance systems, turnover packages, traceability systems, controlled work execution, and field verification methodologies.
• Experience supporting root cause investigations, corrective actions, and operational quality problem solving within complex construction projects.
• Working familiarity with dimensional inspection methods, field measurement systems, construction hold points, and technical verification workflows.
• Strong operational judgment and ability to make technically defensible decisions under ambiguity and schedule pressure.
• Subcontractor auditing.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day field execution activities for the construction quality organization supporting reactor construction, infrastructure installation, fabrication, assembly, testing, and controlled field execution activities.
• Supervise Construction Quality Technicians and Inspectors while reinforcing disciplined execution, procedural compliance, technical rigor, and traceability integrity across all construction quality activities.
• Coordinate inspection activities, witness points, hold points, turnover documentation, and verification workflows across multiple subcontractor trades and construction disciplines.
• Provide quality oversight of subcontracted construction activities including geotechnical, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and industrial construction operations.
• Ensure construction records, material traceability, inspection documentation, as-built conditions, turnover packages, and controlled execution documentation remain accurate, complete, retrievable, and audit-ready.
• Support investigation and resolution of nonconformances, construction discrepancies, contractor quality concerns, field execution issues, procedural deviations, and technical documentation gaps.
• Work directly with construction management, engineering, supplier quality, craft labor, subcontractors, and operational leadership to ensure technically defensible and operationally executable quality solutions.
• Help identify emerging execution risks, traceability gaps, contractor performance concerns, and operational weaknesses before they become major project impacts.
• Mentor and develop field quality personnel while helping establish scalable construction quality execution standards and verification discipline across the organization.
• Participate in and conduct subcontractor quality system audits.
