• 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.

Data Center Quality Assurance and Quality Control

• Develop, implement, and maintain the project-specific electrical QA/QC plan.

• Establish inspection and test plans for each electrical system and phase of construction.
• Conduct preparatory, initial, follow-up, and final inspections for critical electrical installations.
• Verify installations are complete, accessible, properly labeled, protected, and ready for testing or energization.
• Inspect electrical rooms, equipment yards, data halls, substations, generator areas, and other critical spaces.
• Identify quality concerns early and coordinate corrective actions before they affect energization, commissioning, or turnover milestones.
• Initiate, track, and close nonconformance reports, observations, punch-list items, and quality deficiencies.
• Verify corrective work is completed, reinspected, and properly documented.
• Maintain accurate inspection records, checklists, photographs, test reports, redlines, and turnover documentation.
• Perform quality audits and participate in client, general contractor, engineer, and third-party inspections.
• Monitor subcontractor and vendor work for compliance with project requirements.
