Job Summary

The Director of Quality - Fabrication & Manufacturing is responsible for developing, implementing, and leading the enterprise quality strategy across Loenbro's Fabrication & Manufacturing network. This position will establish a consistent, scalable quality management framework supporting mechanical and pipe fabrication, structural fabrication, electrical prefab, modular assembly, and future manufactured products across Loenbro facilities.

The role will work closely with Operations, Engineering, Project Management, Welding and Process Improvement, Safety, Estimating, Supply Chain, Business Development, project teams, and customers to ensure consistent quality delivery.

The Director will also develop quality plans and strategies supporting new products, manufacturing processes, facilities, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and expansion into new end markets, while serving as a senior customer-facing quality leader capable of confidently articulating Loenbro's quality systems, capabilities, certifications, controls, and continuous-improvement philosophy.
