• Support site teams in Procore usage and QA reporting
• Conduct inspections and issue compliance reports
• Maintain Golden Thread documentation and QA records

• Participate in technical and progress meetings
• Advise on QA resource needs and assist with recruitment
• Provide guidance on regulatory compliance and best practice
