The solution quality lead will strengthen and sustain execution excellence across the Advanced Power Generation (APG) portfolio by embedding quality discipline, predictability, and right-the-first-time execution across the full project lifecycle, with responsibility for influencing consistent quality outcomes across APG projects. This role champions that best-in-class quality is a primary safety control and a foundational requirement for achieving and sustaining zero injuries—ensuring quality-driven safety is embedded in how work is planned, executed, and verified.

Reporting to the APG Solution Portfolio Lead, this role supports execution of approved portfolio strategies by driving solution-level quality leadership spanning engineering, supply chain, construction, commissioning, and turnover. The APG Solution Quality Lead works in close partnership with the Quality Management team to ensure consistent application of quality standards, leading indicators, and continuous improvement practices without duplicating project or field quality execution roles.

Execution experience is critical, as this role anticipates quality-driven risks that impact safety, cost, schedule, and client confidence, and proactively drives mitigation and continuous improvement across APG projects.

Clients

• Reinforce quality and execution excellence as differentiators for APG clients, emphasizing that first-time quality is a primary safety control.
• Support client-facing discussions related to quality strategy, execution risk, and lessons learned, including the linkage between quality discipline and safe execution.
• Partner with APG leadership and project teams to translate client quality expectations into practical execution strategies and repeatable quality practices across APG projects.

Organizational Effectiveness

• Execute and evolve APG solution-level quality strategy aligned with portfolio objectives, predictable execution, and zero-incident safety culture.
• Promote Quality Assurance as the foundation for exceptional performance.
• Strengthen a culture of quality, accountability, and psychological safety across APG projects, empowering professionals to raise concerns early and stop work when quality or safety is at risk.
• Drive adoption of quality driven planning and leading quality indicators into project execution planning and applicable work packages.
• Own APG solution-level visibility into cost of quality, rework, recurring quality trends, and corrective action effectiveness,…
