Mission Critical QA/QC Superintendent

REPORTS TO:

Mission Critical QA/QC Director

The Mission Critical QA/QC Superintendent is responsible for leading and managing the electrical quality assurance and quality control program for large-scale, mission-critical data center projects.

This position ensures that all electrical systems are installed, inspected, tested, documented, and turned over in accordance with approved drawings, project specifications, applicable codes, manufacturer requirements, client standards, and Adams Electric Company quality expectations.

This individual works closely with project leadership, field supervision, the general contractor, engineers, vendors, BIM/VDC, commissioning agents, and client representatives to ensure systems are fully prepared for energization, commissioning, integrated systems testing, and final turnover.

• Lead by example and promote a project culture centered on safety, quality, accountability, and operational readiness.
• Provide project-wide leadership for electrical QA/QC activities across all data center buildings, systems, and phases.
• Supervise and support QA/QC Foremen, QA/QC inspectors, electricians, apprentices, helpers, and temporary workers assigned to quality activities.
• Coordinate with Project Managers, Superintendents, General Foremen, Foremen, engineers, vendors, commissioning teams, and other trades.
• Establish clear quality expectations and ensure field personnel understand project-specific installation and documentation requirements.
• Monitor QA/QC staffing and assign personnel based on the construction, testing, commissioning, and turnover schedule.
• Participate in project coordination, quality, commissioning, scheduling, and turnover meetings.
• Communicate quality concerns, risks, and required corrective actions to project leadership in a timely manner.

• Develop, implement, and maintain the project-specific electrical QA/QC plan.
• Ensure all electrical installations comply with contract documents, approved submittals, applicable codes, manufacturer instructions, client requirements, and Adams Electric

Company standards.

• Medium-voltage and low-voltage electrical distribution systems.
• Utility service and onsite substations.
• Switchgear, switchboards, transformers, panel boards, and distribution equipment.
• Uninterruptible Power Supply systems and associated battery systems.
• Standby generators, paralleling switch gear, and fuel-system electrical components.
• Automatic and static transfer switches.
• Power Distribution Units and Remote Power Panels.
• Busway systems, tap boxes, and rack-level power distribution.
• Electrical Power Monitoring Systems and Building Management System interfaces.
• Grounding and bonding systems.
• Lightning protection systems.
• Conduit, cable tray, wireway, raceway, feeders, and branch-circuit installations.
• Fiber-optic and structured cabling pathways, where included in the project scope.
• Lighting, lighting controls, emergency lighting, and life-safety electrical systems.
• Fire alarm and control-system interfaces.
• Mechanical equipment power, controls, and monitoring connections.
• Security, access-control, and other low-voltage system pathways, where applicable.

• Coordinate with the Project Manager and Project Superintendent to align inspections and quality activities with the master project schedule.
• Review project schedules, system completion dates, energization milestones, and commissioning sequences.
• Develop QA/QC schedules and inspection plans for upcoming work.
• Participate in pull-planning sessions, phase-planning meetings, and two- or six-week look-ahead meetings.
• Forecast QA/QC staffing, inspection, testing, and documentation needs based on project milestones.
• Track system completion and turnover by building, room, area, equipment package, and commissioning level.
• Ensure inspections and documentation are completed without delaying energization, startup, commissioning, or turnover.
• Immediately communicate potential quality-related schedule impacts to project leadership.

• Coordinate electrical inspections and testing required before equipment startup and energization.
• Verify systems have completed all required inspections, checklists, pre-functional testing, and documentation before release for energization.
• Participate in pre-energization walkdowns and system-readiness reviews.
• Confirm electrical equipment is clean, complete, properly labeled, correctly terminated, and free of construction debris before energization.
• Coordinate with qualified testing agencies and verify that required test reports are received and reviewed.
• Confirm testing equipment is appropriate for the work and has current calibration documentation.
• Coordinate testing that may include insulation resistance, continuity, torque verification, ground-fault testing, grounding-system testing, relay testing, breaker…
