The position emphasizes oversight rather than field execution, with responsibility resting in the contractors' hands for workmanship, inspections, and corrective actions.

Qualifications

• 5–10 years of quality management experience in construction, commissioning, engineering, or a related environment.
• Experience supporting large-scale construction projects, with data center, mission-critical, advanced technology, or similarly complex project experience preferred.
• Demonstrated experience with quality audits, assessments, deficiency management, and corrective-action tracking.
• Experience reviewing contractor Quality Management Programs, inspection plans, and quality procedures.
• Strong understanding of construction drawings, specifications, submittals, inspection processes, and quality documentation.
• Familiarity with commissioning, Integrated Systems Testing (IST), turnover, and project closeout processes.
• Ability to identify quality risks, analyze issues, and elevate findings to stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Provide independent quality oversight, assurance, governance, and advisory support throughout the project lifecycle.
• Review contractor Quality Management Programs (QMPs), inspection plans, procedures, and supporting documentation for alignment with project requirements.
• Verify that quality programs, inspection plans, and procedures are complete, coordinated, and effectively implemented.
• Monitor implementation of approved quality programs and identify gaps, systemic risks, inconsistencies, and non-conformances.
• Support quality audits, assessments, field reviews, and independent quality evaluations.
• Review construction activities for alignment with project specifications, drawings, technical standards, and design intent.
• Identify and elevate discrepancies between drawings, specifications, submittals, quality documentation, and field execution.
• Maintain and monitor deficiency tracking, including aging, responsible parties, corrective actions, and closeout status.
• Escalate significant quality findings and systemic risks through established project governance channels.
• Support commissioning and Integrated Systems Testing (IST) readiness by reviewing test procedures, documentation, and acceptance criteria.
• Verify the completeness, accuracy, and traceability of turnover documentation and quality record packages.
• Prepare monthly quality audit reports detailing findings, deficiencies, corrective-action progress, and overall quality performance.
• Collaborate with project stakeholders to promote continuous improvement and consistent application of quality standards.
• Maintain an independent oversight role without directing field crews, approving or rejecting contractor work, or assuming responsibility for contractor execution or workmanship.
