Position Overview

As a QA/QC Manager, you will lead quality assurance and quality control activities across large‑scale hyperscale data‑center and mission‑critical infrastructure projects. You will develop, implement, and maintain project‑specific quality programs while ensuring all work complies with contract requirements, technical specifications, codes, standards, and customer expectations. This role works closely with project management, field operations, engineering, procurement, commissioning, subcontractors, vendors, and customers to establish a culture of quality throughout the project lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and maintain project quality assurance and quality control programs.
• Ensure construction activities comply with project specifications, contract requirements, quality standards, and customer expectations.
• Oversee inspection and testing activities across civil, utility, structural, electrical, telecommunications, and mission‑critical construction scopes.
• Manage quality documentation, inspection reports, testing records, punch lists, non‑conformance reports, and corrective action programs.
• Coordinate quality activities with project teams, commissioning personnel, subcontractors, vendors, and customers.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen quality performance and project execution.

What You’ll Do

• Lead QA/QC efforts supporting hyperscale data‑center and mission‑critical infrastructure projects.
• Review construction drawings, specifications, contracts, quality plans, inspection requirements, and testing procedures.
• Develop and maintain inspection and test plans (ITPs), quality management plans, and project quality procedures.
• Conduct site inspections, audits, field observations, and quality assessments throughout construction activities.
• Verify compliance with project requirements related to grading, earthwork, utilities, concrete, power infrastructure, fiber systems, and commissioning activities.
• Manage non‑conformance reporting, root cause analysis, corrective action plans, and issue resolution processes.
• Coordinate with project teams to ensure quality requirements are integrated into project execution plans.
• Track and maintain project quality metrics, inspection logs, turnover documentation, and commissioning records.
• Support owner inspections, customer audits, commissioning activities, and final turnover requirements.
• Provide quality training, mentoring, and guidance to project personnel and subcontractors.

• You like to surround yourself with dedicated, value‑driven people.
• You relish new challenges and evolving technology.
• You cringe when you hear: “Because that's the way we've always done it.”
• You believe quality is built into the work, not inspected into it.
• You enjoy solving complex technical and operational challenges.
• You thrive in environments where attention to detail and accountability drive success.
• You are motivated by ownership, continuous improvement, and delivering exceptional project outcomes.
• You want to work to make a difference.
