The Quality Construction Manager II (QCMII) serves as the contractor/owner’s on‑site advocate throughout the project to ensure all work is performed in conformance to the standards required of quality, schedule, and scope.

This role combines classic construction manager and owner’s representative duties (owner advocacy, contract oversight, risk management, stakeholder communication) with deep QAQC field leadership across electrical, mechanical, and controls systems in mission‑critical environments.

The QCMII is vital during the L1–L3 phases—design validation, procurement, and construction—ensuring installations meet project requirements and are fully documented for a seamless handoff to the commissioning team. This role does not execute commissioning tests (L4–L5) but ensures the site is commissioning‑ready by enforcing quality standards and resolving issues early.

The QCMII will receive limited directions on day‑to‑day work and general instructions on new projects, tasks or assignments. Will execute and assist team leadership on projects, tasks or assignments of complex scope. Will work independently or under limited supervision.

The QCMII will communicate and operate in line with organizational and client goals and values, as well as departmental objectives.

• Act as the contractor and/or owner’s “eyes and ears” on site, ensuring all decisions and field activities align with the client’s Quality Control Specifications (CSPEC) and programmatic expectations.
• Lead proactive risk identification and escalation pathways, emphasizing early detection and resolution of quality issues to maintain project momentum and commissioning readiness.
• Facilitate cross‑functional communication among the owner, designers, contractors, equipment manufacturers and vendors, and trade partners to ensure consistent interpretation and execution of the project quality standards.
• Support contract administration and regulatory compliance, coordinating with legal and project management teams to resolve disputes or clarify scope where quality deviations are involved.

• Monitor field execution to ensure installations meet project requirements, drawings, specifications, and applicable codes, with strict adherence to the client’s Quality framework.
• Ensure field‑level activities—including inspections, documentation, and issue tracking—are conducted in accordance with the client’s commissioning plan of record and Quality program.
• Enforce HSE/LOTO requirements and site safety policies in coordination with contractor and client teams.

• Ensure all pre‑functional checklists, Quality documentation, and punch lists are complete and accurate before turnover to the commissioning team.
• Validate that equipment start‑up prerequisites and vendor documentation are in place to support Cx activities.
• Drive early issue resolution to prevent delays in L4–L5 commissioning.

Review shop drawings, submittals, RFIs; verify contractor quality requirements are flowed down to vendors; assist in maintaining the field document control system (drawings, tests, inspections, vendor data, as‑builts).
