Given the zero-defect tolerance and rigorous commissioning process inherent to data center construction, this role requires an individual who can drive a culture of first-time right installation across all trades while maintaining complete, audit-ready documentation.

• Zero-defect commissioning: installation quality supports first-pass success across Cx Levels 1-5, minimizing owner-driven rework and schedule impact.
• A fully audit-ready quality file [Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), material certifications, calibration records] maintained in real time and ready for owner, Commissioning Agent (CxA), or Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)] review at any point in the project.

• Adheres to safety procedures in accordance with federal or state-specific OSHA statutes and regulations, in addition to all Company-specific and Client-required safety standards

• Fully understands and shares a passion for the Company’s core values, vision, mission, and objectives.
• Builds and maintains strong relationships as trusted advisors to our clients.

• Develops, implements, and maintains the project-specific Quality Management Plan (QMP), ITPs, and quality control procedures for all disciplines (structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire/life safety, and controls).
• Establishes and enforces Hold Points and Witness Points in coordination with the project schedule so no work is concealed or advanced without required inspection and sign-off.
• Directly supervises, trains, and assigns daily priorities to the onsite QC Inspector(s), reviewing their inspection reports and field findings each day.
• Serves as the primary liaison with the owner’s quality representative, the CxA, and any third-party or jurisdictional special inspectors; attends and leads weekly quality meetings.
• Owns the NCR process from end-to-end: identification, root cause analysis, corrective action planning, verification of resolution, and closure documentation.
• Reviews subcontractor quality control submittals, inspection and test plans, and material certifications for compliance with contract documents, codes, and manufacturer requirements.
• Partners with the CxA to prepare the site for Level 1-5 commissioning activities, ensuring installation quality supports first-pass commissioning success and minimizes costly rework.
• Maintains the master quality documentation system (inspection records, NCRs, punch lists, material certifications, calibration records, redlines) in a state that is audit-ready at all times and complete for turnover/closeout.
• Conducts periodic quality audits of subcontractor work practices and coordinates corrective training with Field Operations and Safety when systemic issues are identified.
• Possesses stop-work authority for quality-related concerns and escalates promptly to the Project Manager when work does not meet contract or code requirements.
