Construction Quality Supervisor

About the role

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.
