SUMMARY OF POSITION:

The Quality Manager is responsible for implementing, maintaining, and enforcing INTREN’s Quality Management System (QMS) to ensure all work is executed in compliance with contract requirements, project specifications, industry standards, and Customer quality expectations.

This role provides field-level quality leadership and takes a proactive, solutions-oriented approach to quality management. The Quality Manager works in close partnership with Operations and Field leadership to identify risks early, support construction execution, and ensure quality is built into the work—not enforced through disruption or unnecessary work stoppages.

The Quality Manager partners closely with the Project Manager, Construction Manager, Superintendent, Engineering/Scheduling, and Safety teams to prevent rework, protect schedule, and maintain momentum, while ensuring proper documentation and turnover compliance. The role is intended to support production by anticipating issues, aligning expectations upfront, and resolving concerns before they impact cost, schedule, or client confidence.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

• Implement the Project Quality Plan (PQP) in accordance with INTREN and Customer requirements.
• Develop, maintain, and implement site-specific Quality Plans that align corporate QMS requirements with project scope, execution strategy, and Customer expectations.
• Develop, maintain, and enforce Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) aligned with project scope.
• Support material submittals and RFIs as a quality subject matter expert, ensuring materials, technical clarifications, and field execution remain aligned with contract requirements and project intent.
• Partner with Operations and Field leadership to ensure quality requirements are clearly understood prior to work execution.
• Participate in pre‑construction and pre‑activity planning to embed quality expectations upfront and eliminate downstream risk.

• Identify quality risks early and communicate recommended corrective actions before work proceeds or impacts productivity.
• Exercise stop-work authority only when necessary to prevent non-conforming installation, prioritizing corrective guidance and coordination whenever possible to avoid disruption.

• Identify, document, and manage Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) in a timely and professional manner.
• Coordinate corrective actions collaboratively with the Construction Manager, Superintendent, and Project Team.
• Track NCR resolution to closure and verify corrective measures are effective.
• Support root‑cause analysis with a focus on process improvement and prevention, not fault assignment.

• Maintain accurate and complete quality records including:
• Inspection reports
• Test results
• Redlines and as‑builts
• Material certifications and compliance documentation.
• Ensure documentation is organized, current, and turnover‑ready throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support project closeout activities and Customer turnover requirements.

• Serve as the primary quality point of contact for the project.
• Interface professionally with Customer quality representatives during inspections, audits, and walkdowns.
• Communicate quality expectations clearly and consistently to field leadership and crews.
• Provide timely reporting of quality trends, risks, and metrics to Project and Operations leadership.
