Construction Quality Lead

Construction Material Testing; Eugene (OR); On-site; USD 85,000 - 105,000; Full time

Job summary

Construction Material Testing is seeking a Quality Manager I to own the quality control program on a project, schedule and witness tests, and write daily QC reports. You will open and track nonconformances with engineering oversight and maintain audit-ready files.

The role progresses from field inspector to manager, with sponsorship for CQM-C and related certifications. Travel and long days align with the project schedule and site demands.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in construction materials testing, special inspection, or contractor QC
• At least one of: ACI Grade I, NICET Level II, ICC special inspector, or USACE CQM-C certificate (we sponsor CQM-C if you do not hold it)
• Able to read specifications and drawings and turn them into a test schedule
• Direct, organized, and comfortable telling a superintendent that a lift does not pass

Responsibilities

• Maintain the project inspection and test plan (ITP) and the testing frequency log against the specifications; Schedule and witness field and laboratory tests; verify certifications of the technicians performing them; Write the daily quality control report and the three-phase (preparatory, initial, follow-up) meeting records; Open, track, and close nonconformance reports with the superintendent and the engineer of record; Keep submittal, mix design, and material certification files audit-ready.
• The week starts with the look-ahead: which pours, lifts, and structural work land in the next ten days, what the specification requires for each, and whether the technicians and the laboratory are lined up to cover it. From there it is a mix of witnessing tests, checking that certifications and calibrations are current, and writing the daily report before you leave the site.
• When a test fails, you own the paperwork and the conversation: the NCR gets opened the same day, the engineer of record gets the data, and the corrective action gets tracked until the retest passes.
• Quality management here sits inside a documented AASHTO R18 quality system and a licensed radiation safety program, and on federal work inside the USACE three-phase control process. Reports and NCRs carry your name; what leaves the site under your program is your review.
