Senior Staff Quality Control (QC) Engineer

About the role

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster. We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a senior technical QC leader across large-scale, mission-critical data center construction projects
• Define and improve program-level quality engineering standards, inspection methods, and acceptance criteria
• Work across multiple tenant quality programs and reconcile differing specs and flow-down requirements
• Develop, refine, and govern Inspection Test Plans, checklists, inspection workflows, and quality documentation standards across civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, controls, and commissioning-related scopes
• Ensure critical MEP systems — including electrical distribution, mechanical/cooling systems, controls, and related infrastructure — are installed in accordance with design intent, specifications, submittals, code requirements, and performance expectations
• Partner closely with Construction, Design, Commissioning, Operations, GCs, subcontractors, OEMs, AHJs, and third-party inspectors to drive consistent quality outcomes
• Provide senior-level technical review of drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, field changes, and construction execution plans from a quality and constructability perspective
• Lead root cause analysis for recurring defects, non-conformances, rework drivers, and system-level quality failures
• Establish defect taxonomies, trend reporting, and quality metrics that provide visibility into systemic risk and performance across scopes or projects
• Drive pre-functional and functional readiness standards in partnership with commissioning teams
• Provide technical quality sign-off recommendations for systems prior to commissioning, energization, turnover, and operational handoff
• Review and validate non-conformance reports, corrective action plans, punch lists, inspection results, test reports, as-builts, redlines, O&M manuals, and turnover packages
• Identify quality risks early and influence corrective action before issues impact schedule, commissioning, cost, or reliability
• Translate field lessons learned into scalable standards, playbooks, and repeatable quality practices
• Mentor QC Engineers, QC Managers, construction teams, and trade partners on technical quality standards and inspection discipline
• Support audit readiness and maintain high-quality documentation and reporting standards across assigned projects or campus scopes

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in construction QA/QC, quality engineering, field engineering, commissioning support, or related technical construction roles
• Deep technical understanding of MEP systems in mission-critical, industrial, or large-scale infrastructure environments
• Strong experience with electrical distribution, mechanical/cooling systems, controls, system integration, and construction-to-commissioning handoff
• Proven ability to develop or improve ITPs, inspection plans, quality standards, checklists, NCR processes, punch management, and turnover documentation practices
• Strong ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, technical submittals, test reports, commissioning documents, and code requirements
• Experience using defect tracking, trend analysis, root cause methodology, and corrective action frameworks to improve quality outcomes
• Comfortable influencing GCs, subcontractors, engineering teams, commissioning teams, and internal stakeholders without relying on direct authority
• Systems thinker who understands how construction quality impacts commissioning, operations, uptime, and long-term asset performance
• Highly organized, analytical, and detail-oriented, with strong documentation and communication skills
