• Coordinate with construction managers, package managers, resident engineers, safety teams, design teams, and contractors to address field issues, potential nonconformances, and recurring trends.

• Document findings through clear, professional surveillance and audit reports, field observations, and related quality logs.

• Track corrective actions to closure, ensuring timely resolution and verification of implemented fixes.

• Participate in field readiness reviews, pre‑activity meetings, and quality‑related workshops to promote proactive quality management.
