• Lead and develop the Engineering Quality function, providing direction, coaching, performance management, and capability development for engineering quality professionals.
• Set measurable objectives, priorities, and key performance indicators that align engineering quality performance with enterprise quality goals, project outcomes, and customer expectations.
• Provide regular updates to senior leadership on engineering quality performance, risks, corrective actions, and improvement priorities.

• Develop and implement an engineering quality strategy that ensures quality is built into design, technical standards, specifications, drawings, calculations, BIM deliverables, and engineering work products.
• Establish governance for design reviews, technical quality gates, engineering deliverable reviews, design change control, and release readiness.
• Support and facilitate engineering quality standards, procedures, checklists, and acceptance criteria aligned with customer, regulatory, code, contract, and internal requirements.
• Integrate engineering quality requirements into the Quality Management System and ensure consistent application across projects, product lines, and engineering teams.

• Drive early risk identification and prevention through design reviews, FMEA, constructability reviews, lessons learned, error-proofing, and technical risk assessments.
• Ensure engineering deliverables are complete, accurate, traceable, and ready for downstream manufacturing, procurement, construction, commissioning, and customer acceptance.
• Facilitate root cause analysis and corrective actions for engineering-driven quality issues, including design errors, technical nonconformances, rework, field issues, and customer-impacting defects.
• Establish feedback loops from manufacturing, construction, commissioning, service, and customer experience to improve engineering standards and prevent recurrence.

• Ensure engineering processes comply with applicable codes, standards, customer specifications, contractual obligations, regulatory requirements, and internal quality policies.
• Support internal and external audits related to engineering quality, documentation control, design control, configuration management, and technical compliance.
• Ensure engineering quality records, approvals, technical deviations, waivers, and corrective actions are properly documented and audit-ready.

• Partner with Engineering, Project Management, Manufacturing, Construction, Supplier Quality, Procurement,…
