Job description

Base pay range

$115,000.00/yr - $130,000.00/yr

Are you an experienced MEP Quality Assurance professional who thrives on complex construction projects, high standards, and real accountability? Do you enjoy being on-site, solving problems in real time, and ensuring projects are built the right way?

This is a unique opportunity to play a critical role on large-scale, mission-critical federal construction projects—where quality, safety, and compliance truly matter.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead MEP quality assurance inspections using the USACE Three-Phase Inspection Protocol
• Validate contractor compliance with drawings, specs, codes, and approved QC plans
• Identify issues early, document findings, and drive corrective actions to completion
• Coordinate directly with contractor field teams and government stakeholders
• Participate in functional performance testing and commissioning activities
• Prepare detailed QA reports, photo logs, and technical briefings
• Mentor junior QA staff and serve as a team lead on-site

This is a hands‑on, field‑driven role—you’ll be walking sites daily, reviewing work at every stage, and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for professionals who bring deep MEP expertise, strong judgment, and confidence working in secure, high‑visibility environments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, or Construction Management
• 10+ years of construction management or trade foreman experience OR 15+ years of hands‑on MEP experience with proven subject‑matter expertise
• Strong knowledge of federal construction standards and building codes
• Experience with QA/QC, inspections, and contractor oversight
• U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a Public Trust clearance
• Experience supporting USACE, NAVFAC, WHS, or other federal programs is a strong plus

Salary & Benefits

• Pay: $115,000 – $130,000 base salary, depending on experience
• Overtime eligibility for specific projects
• Full benefits package
• Location: Fully onsite at the Pentagon
• Work schedule: Monday–Friday with rotating weekend
• Workload: Walk up to 3 miles per day across active construction zones

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on high‑impact federal construction projects
• Be trusted as a technical authority and team leader
• Clear standards, real accountability, and meaningful work
• Collaborate with experienced professionals who take pride in quality
