QA​/QC Manager - Mission Critical ​/ Data Centers

The QA/QC Manager is responsible for the overall quality assurance and quality control program on a large-scale, mission-critical data center construction project. This is a dedicated, full-time onsite role who partners closely with the Project Manager. The QA/QC Manager establishes and administers the project Quality Plan, oversees the QC Inspector(s) assigned to the site, and serves as the Company’s primary point of contact for quality matters with the owner, the owner’s representatives and construction managers, commissioning agent, and third-party/special inspectors.

Given the zero-defect tolerance and rigorous commissioning process inherent to data center construction, this role requires an individual who can drive a culture of first-time right installation across all trades while maintaining complete, audit-ready documentation.

• Zero-defect commissioning: installation quality supports first-pass success across Cx Levels 1-5, minimizing owner-driven rework and schedule impact.
• A fully audit-ready quality file [Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), material certifications, calibration records] maintained in real time and ready for owner, Commissioning Agent (CxA), or Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)] review at any point in the project.
• A functioning Hold Point/Witness Point system that prevents any work from being concealed or advanced without required inspection sign-off.
• Declining NCR trend and improving first-pass inspection rate over the life of the project, tracked and reported to leadership.
• A trained, high-performing QC Inspector Team producing consistent, defensible field documentation.
• Strong working relationship with the owner’s quality representative and CxA, positioning the Company as a trusted, low-risk partner for future mission-critical work

• Prioritizes safety as the utmost importance, even before production, and promotes a team culture that makes safety the primary focus for all employees at all times.
• Adheres to safety procedures in accordance with federal or state-specific OSHA statutes and regulations, in addition to all Company-specific and Client-required safety standards

• Builds and maintains strong relationships as trusted advisors to our clients.

• Develops, implements, and maintains the project-specific Quality Management Plan (QMP), ITPs, and quality control procedures for all disciplines (structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire/life safety, and controls).
• Establishes and enforces Hold Points and Witness Points in coordination with the project schedule so no work is concealed or advanced without required inspection and sign-off.
• Directly supervises, trains, and assigns daily priorities to the onsite QC Inspector(s), reviewing their inspection reports and field findings each day.
• Serves as the primary liaison with the owner’s quality representative, the CxA, and any third-party or jurisdictional special inspectors; attends and leads weekly quality meetings.
• Owns the NCR process from end-to-end: identification, root cause analysis, corrective action planning, verification of resolution, and closure documentation.
• Reviews subcontractor quality control submittals, inspection and test plans, and material certifications for compliance with contract documents, codes, and manufacturer requirements.
• Partners with the CxA to prepare the site for Level 1-5 commissioning activities, ensuring installation quality supports first-pass commissioning success and minimizes costly rework.
• Maintains the master quality documentation system (inspection records, NCRs, punch lists, material certifications, calibration records, redlines) in a state that is audit-ready at all times and complete for turnover/closeout.
• Conducts periodic quality audits of subcontractor work practices and coordinates corrective training with Field Operations and Safety when systemic issues are identified.
