Develop/monitor quality program metrics to evaluate vendor manufacturing & project performance. Analyze said metrics to understand the root cause of any disconcerting trends and then work with the applicable parties to correct those items.

Contribute to building high performing teams by mentoring and developing offsite Vendor teams by providing feedback to meet and exceed manufacturing expectations by defining performance objectives while influencing on-site teammates and partners such as Regional Quality Managers, BMS Quality Managers, General contractor teams, Vendor support teams, Trade Partners, and other Meta Infrastructure Data Center teams.

Provide direction and feedback to vendor staff, general contractor staff and trade partners on the OFCI Management and Quality program.

Provide onboarding and continuous training of Vendor personnel to ensure awareness of quality procedures and specific responsibilities vital to the Meta Quality program.

Through the establishment of partnerships, coordinate quality issues and schedule dynamics between the Meta design, ISCE, construction, and facility operations teams to ensure operational readiness.

Audit Quality activities of vendor and project team staff as often and as necessary to assess conformance with the manufacturing expectations.

Recommend and verify effective implementation of corrective and preventive actions for Vendor Audit and Execution non-conformances and quality issues, in coordination with sourcing partners, vendor management, design, engineering, construction and other functional disciplines.

Partner with Vendor teams and Project Teams in review of Level 3, 4, and 5 Energization, Start-up, and Commissioning schedules to help ensure issue counts are trending downward, gating issues mitigated, adequate field service representatives are mobilized, and vendor risks are proactively avoided.

Help drive the closure of open issues and escalate any outstanding open items not getting closed out in a timely manner.

Assist in confirming that Level 2 and Level 3 testing documentation is properly completed and retained in a timely manner that aligns with micro-schedule milestones.

Attend required Construction Meetings such as the weekly project and monthly global Quality meeting, MEP/OAC weekly meetings, and daily start-up and commissioning meetings.

Remain informed of operational equipment deficiencies, evaluate systemic potential and program manage systemic vendor RCA and mitigation strategies.

Travel domestically and internationally as needed (anticipated 40-60%).
