• Initiate corrective action for deviations in corporate document and process compliance.
• Coordinate qualified testing laboratories and third-party inspection agencies to assure compliance.
• Submit monthly quality reports identifying measurable results and trends.

Required

• 2+ years of construction QA/QC inspection experience.

• Experience on data center, hyperscale, or high-availability facility projects.
• OSHA 30-Hour certification.
