Documentation & Reporting

Maintain complete quality documentation inspection records, test reports, mill certificates, weld inspection logs, and compliance certificates.

Prepare and submit detailed reports on quality issues, non-conformances, and corrective/preventive actions (CAPA) to senior management.

Collaborate with project managers to document quality results, track open issues, and ensure timely close-out of all non-conformances.

Inspections & Audits

Conduct routine site inspections of ongoing construction activities to detect and resolve quality issues before they impact downstream work.

Perform quality audits of subcontractors and vendors verifying adherence to contractual quality standards and approved procedures.

Lead or support internal and external audits; ensure all corrective actions are implemented, verified, and documented within agreed timelines.

Standards, Training & Coordination

Ensure all construction activities comply with applicable safety regulations, environmental guidelines, and relevant IS codes of practice.

Assist in developing project quality plans, inspection checklists, and method statements for key construction activities.

Facilitate quality awareness training for site teams and junior QA/QC staff to embed a quality-first culture across projects.

Technical Skills & Experience

4-6 years of hands-on QA/QC experience in the PEB, structural steel, or construction industry covering fabrication, erection, RCC, interior finishes, and MEP works.

Strong working knowledge of IS codes relevant to structural steel (IS 800, IS 7215), concrete (IS 456), and general construction quality standards.
