Job description

A specialist owner’s representative and quality assurance firm is growing its mission critical team and looking for QA/QC Inspectors to support hyperscale data center builds across West Texas.

This is an owner-side role, so you’ll be the eyes and ears for the end client, holding contractors to specification rather than answering to them. With multiple campuses in the pipeline, it’s a role with real longevity and a clear route into senior quality and commissioning positions.

Why this role

• Owner-side seat on some of the largest data center programs in the US
• Long-term pipeline across multiple Texas campuses
• Full travel covered on a company card: flights, accommodation, rental vehicle and daily expenses
• Funded training and certification, including NFPA 70E arc flash
• A firm that invests in progression from inspector through to QA/QC leadership

The role

• Carry out field inspections across MEP and CSA scopes, verifying installations against drawings, specifications and approved submittals
• Support commissioning activity from Level 1 through Level 5, covering factory witness and delivery checks, installation verification, pre-functional checks, functional performance testing and integrated systems testing
• Raise, track and close out deficiencies and non-conformance reports with contractors
• Witness testing on critical power and mechanical equipment such as switchgear, generators, UPS, PDUs, chillers and CRAH units
• Keep accurate inspection records, punch lists and turnover documentation
• Report findings to the project team and owner, and support system turnover and handover

What you’ll bring

• QA/QC inspection or commissioning experience on data center or mission critical projects
• Working knowledge of commissioning levels L1-L5 and owner turnover requirements
• Confidence reading drawings and specifications and pushing back on contractors where needed
• Experience with platforms such as Procore, CxAlloy or Bluebeam
• Relevant certifications (OSHA 30, CQM-C, NETA or similar) are a plus
• Willingness to be site based with travel across Texas

The package

• Medical, dental and vision
• Life, AD&D, short and long-term disability
• All travel expenses covered
• Professional development and certification reimbursementDevelopmental path and progression
