Brossard, QC

Summary:

• Lead site quality management for hydroelectric construction, installation, testing, commissioning, customer acceptance, and project closeout activities.

• Serve as the primary quality interface between Voith site teams, Project Quality, Project Management, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain Quality, subcontractors, vendors, customer inspectors, and site stakeholders.
• Manage site quality documentation, customer submittals, NCRs, corrective actions, inspection readiness, customer witness inspections, quality records, turnover packages, and final acceptance support.
• Promote prevention-based quality by building quality requirements, inspection expectations, acceptance criteria, environmental compliance needs, and lessons learned into site execution processes.
• Support compliance with quality, environmental, health, safety, contractual, regulatory, statutory, and Voith Business Management System requirements.

Responsibilities:

Site quality leadership and planning:

• Lead and coordinate site quality activities during construction, installation, testing, commissioning, customer handover, project closure, and turnover.
• Develop, review, maintain, and execute site-specific Quality Plans, Construction & Commissioning Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), inspection checklists, quality schedules, and related documentation requirements.
• Ensure customer, contractual, regulatory, statutory, environmental, and Voith quality requirements are understood, deployed, monitored, and verified during site work.
• Coordinate with Project Quality Managers, site leadership, Field Service, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain Quality, HSE, subcontractors, vendors, and customer representatives to align quality expectations.
• Support site kick‑off meetings, handover to site teams, handover to commissioning teams, project coordination meetings, site status reviews, customer audit/inspection meetings, and final handover meetings.

Customer submittals, quality records, and turnover documentation:

• Manage site quality documentation and ensure inspection records, test reports, field quality records, commissioning records, SAT records, PAC/FAC support records, and turnover deliverables are complete, accurate, traceable, and contract compliant.
• Prepare, review, compile, and submit contract‑required documents to the customer, including site quality dockets, quality data books, quality dossiers, inspection reports, test records, NCR documentation, redline support documents, and closeout packages.
• Track document status, customer comments, open actions, revise‑and‑resubmit items, and approval status through closure.
• Coordinate with Document Control and project stakeholders to ensure required site quality records are available for internal review, customer review, acceptance, and archive.

NCR, corrective action, and risk management:

• Initiate, investigate, manage, and close construction and commissioning NCRs, quality findings, deviations, punch-list items, and corrective actions.
• Ensure NCRs are clearly described, supported by objective evidence, properly assigned, dispositioned, approved when required, and followed through to effective closure.
• Lead or support root cause analysis and corrective/preventive action activities with site teams, vendors, subcontractors, Engineering, Manufacturing, Project Quality, customers, and suppliers.
• Monitor site quality risks, NCR trends, overdue actions, recurring issues, and field quality performance; escalated critical issues affecting customer acceptance, schedule, safety, environmental compliance, or project cost.
• Capture lessons learned and support continuous improvement actions to reduce rework, prevent recurrence, and strengthen future site execution.

Construction and commissioning inspection management:

• Execute and manage C&C ITPs and verify that planned inspections, tests, audits, quality checks, witness points, hold points, and acceptance criteria are completed in accordance with project requirements.
• Coordinate internal and external inspection resources for mechanical, electrical, dimensional, welding, coating, NDE, calibration, commissioning, and functional testing activities where applicable.
• Plan, coordinate, and support customer witness inspections, site inspections, audits, surveillance activities, and quality reviews, including readiness checks, agendas, required resources, acceptance criteria, equipment, calibration status, and supporting records.
• Verify that inspection documentation is reviewed before physical inspection when required so inspection focus can be adjusted based on documentation findings.
• Ensure nonconforming work is not built upon, concealed, released, or handed over until appropriately reviewed, dispositioned, corrected, accepted, or formally transferred.

Vendor, subcontractor, and site supplier quality oversight

• Ensure Voith employees, vendors, subcontractors, and site suppliers uphold applicable quality requirements, site procedures, customer specifications, and accepted work practices.
• Monitor vendor and subcontractor quality performance at site and coordinate resolution of supplier or subcontractor quality issues affecting construction, commissioning, customer acceptance, or turnover.
• Support supplier/subcontractor surveillance, audits, inspection planning, documentation review, and corrective action follow-up when site scope or customer requirements require.
