This unique model enables Fleet to provide the world’s largest and most sophisticated customers a seamless extension of their own data center fleets with constant access to design innovation.

Role Summary

Reports to: Quality Control Director Experience: 10+ years · 1 per building Position Overview The Site Quality Manager is the owner-side leader accountable for construction quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) on a Fleet data center campus. Reporting to the Quality Control Director — not to site construction leadership — this role provides independent verification that the work is built right the first time, in conformance with Fleet’s design documents, specifications, and quality standards. The independent reporting line is deliberate: it insulates quality decisions from schedule and cost pressure so issues are called honestly. The Site Quality Manager is dedicated to quality and is a peer to the site Commissioning (Cx) Manager, who sits in a separate matrix pillar. The two partner closely — QA/QC verifies installation conformance and turnover readiness; commissioning verifies functional performance — but report through different lines to preserve independent verification of the asset.

Key Responsibilities

• Quality Program Execution
• Site Quality Plan: Implement and maintain the campus quality plan, inspection and test plans (ITPs), and quality standards set by the Quality Control Director, tailored to the campus scopes (CSA, MEP, and power).
• Inspection & Verification: Own the owner-side inspection program — witness points, hold points, and material/installation verification — confirming work conforms to Fleet design documents, specifications, and applicable codes before it is covered or advanced.
• Contractor QA/QC Oversight: Audit and hold the General Contractor’s and trade partners’ quality programs accountable, verifying their inspections, tests, and documentation are complete and credible rather than duplicating them.
• Nonconformance Management: Identify, document, and track nonconformance reports (NCRs) and deficiencies to closure; verify root-cause corrective actions rather than accepting rework alone.
• Documentation, Turnover & Standards Quality Records: Own the campus quality record — inspection records, test results, certifications, mill/material certs, and as-installed documentation — as the evidence base for turnover.
• Turnover Readiness: Verify QA/QC completion and punch-list closure for each scope, and partner with the Site Commissioning Manager so installation conformance is confirmed ahead of functional commissioning and asset turnover.
• Standards Feedback: Feed recurring defects, lessons learned, and constructability/quality trends back to the Quality Control Director to improve Fleet’s standards and prevent repeat issues across campuses.
• Field Leadership & Partnership Independent Voice: Provide an objective, independent quality assessment to the Quality Control Director and site leadership, escalating quality risks without regard to schedule pressure.
• Partnership on Site: Work collaboratively with the site construction team, trade partners, and the Commissioning Manager to build quality into the work rather than police it after the fact.
• Mentorship: Coach field staff and trade partners on Fleet quality expectations, inspection discipline, and documentation standards.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related technical field, OR equivalent practical construction QA/QC experience.
• 10+ years of construction quality (QA/QC) experience on large-scale, fast-tracked, mission-critical, or heavy industrial projects, including significant site-based quality leadership.
• Owner/operator or developer experience preferred; a strong general contractor or trade-partner quality background at this scale is also considered.
• Working knowledge of QA/QC across CSA and MEP scopes, inspection and test plans, nonconformance/corrective-action processes, and turnover documentation.
• Familiarity with applicable codes and standards and with commissioning interfaces (L1–L5).
• Proficiency with Procore (or equivalent), quality/inspection tools, and Microsoft Office Suite.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience on data center or mission-critical facilities.
• Relevant quality credentials (e.g., CQM, CWI, or equivalent) are a plus.
• Detail-oriented, objective, and comfortable holding the line on quality in a fast-paced environment.
