Job description

Our client, a well-established general contractor based in the Cary, NC area, is looking for an experienced Construction Quality Control (CQC) Manager to lead quality control on a major federal healthcare construction project in Fayetteville, NC. This is a direct-hire, permanent position with a company known for taking care of its people.

About the Role

You’ll hold full authority and responsibility for Construction Quality Control on a large-scale VA renovation project, serving as the designated CQC representative to the government's Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). This is a hands‑on, on‑site leadership role — not a desk job — overseeing submittals, inspections, and quality documentation from start to finish on a multi-year federal contract.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and manage the project's CQC Plan from the ground up
• Maintain full‑time, on‑site presence throughout construction
• Execute the three‑phase inspection process (preparatory, initial, follow‑up) for every phase of work
• Review submittals and verify materials/equipment meet contract specifications
• Maintain daily QC reports and documentation for government review
• Serve as the primary point of contact with the COR and government inspectors
• Track non‑conformances through to resolution

What You’ll Need

• A degree in Engineering, Architecture, or Construction Management (required — this is a federal contract requirement, not substitutable by experience)
• 5+ years of commercial construction experience (concrete/steel — residential/wood‑frame experience does not apply)
• Construction Quality Management (CQM) for Contractors certification, or the ability to obtain it within 90 days of hire (company‑paid)
• Experience on a federal contract (VA, USACE, NAVFAC, or similar) strongly preferred
• Healthcare, medical, or lab construction experience a plus
• Proficiency with Procore or similar construction management software
• Willingness to be based on‑site in the Fayetteville, NC area for the duration of the project

Why This Role

This is a chance to own quality control on a significant, multi‑year federal healthcare project for a company that’s growing its federal contract work and investing in bringing this function in‑house. Competitive compensation, and the company will cover your CQM certification if you're not already current.
