Customer Collaboration

• Ensure the installation process does not hinder facility operations
• Coordinate schedules with on-site personnel and governmental leads
• Communicate technical issues to both engineering and management audiences

Site Readiness & Equipment Inspection

• Verify equipment and materials have been delivered and meet approved site survey
• Identify discrepancies before installation and coordinate corrective action.

Installation & Construction Quality

• Confirm installations match approved drawings and that as-built conditions are accurately reflected in redlined documentation.
• Document deficiencies, track corrective actions, and communicate quality issues to installation teams and program leadership.

Quality & Workmanship Controls

• Verify installation teams follow required quality-control processes

Site Activation & Final Acceptance

• Perform final installation inspections and verify completed work aligns with approved designs and redlined/as-built drawings.
• Document inspection results and support resolution of deficiencies prior to site acceptance.

Why This Role Matters

As a Site Installation Quality Assurance Specialist, you'll be one of the final lines of defense for installation quality-helping ensure systems are installed correctly and ready to support the people who safely manage America's airspace.
