Job description

SilverBack is the go-to specialised technical recruiter of mobile, scarce talent for international new industry construction projects. We don't just fill vacancies, we build careers. We believe our candidates are just as important as our clients, and when you partner with us, you get a dedicated team that champions your professional growth.

Currently, we are looking for experienced Electrical and Mechanical QA/QC Technicians to join our high-priority, fast-paced hyperscale data center project pipeline starting in Texas, with required mobility and flexibility to deploy to different regional project sites as new builds open up.

Position Overview

The QA/QC Technician is responsible for performing rigorous site-level quality control inspections, visual verifications, and compliance checks across all critical electrical or mechanical infrastructure. This role serves as a key field asset working alongside site supervisors and client leads to drive quality standards, manage non-conformances, and ensure flawless equipment turnover across Level 1 to Level 5 testing phases.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform thorough visual QA/QC field inspections across electrical and mechanical data center installations to verify strict compliance with engineering drawings, submittals, and specifications.
• Conduct visual QA/QC assessments, focusing on visual quality, labeling, workmanship, and code compliance rather than hands-on craft or maintenance work.
• Identify, log, and document field deficiencies, sub-trade non-conformances (NCRs), and punch lists using construction management software like CxAlloy, ACC, or Procore.
• Drive issues to closure by actively communicating and following up with general contractors, vendors, and MEP sub-trades on site.
• Generate clear inspection reports and support turnover documentation packages for project leadership and client leads.
• Proactively identify site blockers in chaotic field environments, adapt to workflow changes, and maintain high productivity across changing shifts and project locations.

Experience & Background:

• Proven experience as a QA/QC Technician, Quality Inspector, or Commissioning/Field Specialist on large-scale data center or mission-critical projects.
• Hands-on technical background specializing in either Mechanical (HVAC/Chillers/Piping) or Electrical (Power/Switchgear/UPS) infrastructure.
• Demonstrated familiarity with logging field notes, tracking non-conformances, and managing checklists in CxAlloy, ACC, or similar quality management tools.

Technical & Soft Skills:

• Ability to read and interpret complex electrical single-lines, mechanical P&IDs, submittals, and engineering specs to verify site execution.
• Self-starter mindset with strong problem-solving skills; able to work independently with minimal hand-holding after site orientation.
• Full availability and willingness to travel, mobilize across different US project sites (starting in Texas and rolling over to subsequent locations), and adapt to changing shift schedules (Day/Night/Weekends as required by project phases).

What’s on Offer

• High-Hour Schedule: Steady 48 to 60 paid hours per week
• Compensation & Per Diem: Competitive hourly rate plus GSA per diem and lodging support passed through at cost for travelers.
• W-2 Contractor Benefits: Access to SilverBack's full benefit options, including Comprehensive Health Insurance and 401(k).
• Career Growth: Opportunities to roll onto follow-on data center commissioning projects nationally upon completion.

SilverBack is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of age, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, marital or family status, race, colour, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.
