• Review electrical installations and project activities to identify potential deficiencies, nonconforming work, or documentation gaps.
• Document and track deficiencies while coordinating corrective actions with the appropriate project and field personnel.
• Monitor the receipt, inspection, tracking, and documentation of electrical materials, equipment, and customer-furnished equipment.
• Review contract drawings, specifications, shop drawings, RFIs, submittals, and other construction documentation for quality-related requirements.
• Assist with the development and continuous improvement of quality procedures, reports, inspection processes, and project-specific documentation.
• Support electrical start-up, systems testing, commissioning, and verification activities.
• Maintain accurate electronic quality records using Microsoft 365 and applicable construction or project management platforms.
• Coordinate final quality documentation, commissioning records, turnover packages, and other closeout requirements.
• Maintain a regular presence in the project field office and active construction areas to observe work, collaborate with field teams, and address quality concerns as they arise.

Qualifications:

• Minimum of 6 years of experience within the electrical construction industry, or a combination of at least 4 years of electrical experience and 4 years of related MEP construction experience.
• Minimum of 2 years of Quality Assurance and/or Quality Control experience within a construction or related technical environment.
