• Review quality documentation, inspection records, and test reports for accuracy and completeness.
• Manage the measuring instruments used for inspections to ensure they satisfy their term of validity.
• Support commissioning and acceptance testing activities by witnessing tests and validating results.
• Coordinate with contractors, suppliers, engineering personnel, and project teams to resolve quality-related issues and verify corrective actions.
• Assist with troubleshooting and root cause investigations related to installation, testing, and quality concerns.
• Maintain accurate inspection records, quality reports, and project documentation.
• Identify and report safety concerns observed during inspections and coordinate with the Safety Manager and project leadership as appropriate.
• Support critical project milestones, testing activities, and off-hours work as required.
• Demonstrate flexibility in working hours and availability to support critical project activities, site work, and schedule-driven requirements, including nights, weekends, holidays, and other off-hours work as required.
