The rapid growth of AI and digitalization is fueling unprecedented demand for data centers that require large, reliable sources of energy. In response to this market trend, the Renewables & Clean Power (R&CP) team have signed an early works contract to build one of the largest gas fired power generation facilities in the U.S.

This project is of significant scale and complexity, and our team is helping the customer progress early-stage development, that would lead to the start of full EPC delivery this year. The successful candidate will mobilize on a long-term (camp) assignment to Pecos, Texas. This position is contingent upon project award.

Reporting to the Project Quality Manager under the Quality Specialist job architecture (Grade 26), you will provide quality oversight and assurance for the project with primary emphasis on the mechanical, welding, and piping scope, and maintains and verifies implementation of the project Quality Management System. Upon mobilization to Pecos, Texas, you will provide day-to-day support to Field Engineering, Supply Chain, and Resident Engineering and lead quality assignments using independent judgment.
