About the Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced QA/QC Program Manager to develop, implement, and lead a comprehensive quality program for a major hyperscale data center development.
This is a unique opportunity to work directly on the owner's side and establish the quality standards, processes, metrics, and governance that will drive successful project delivery from design through commissioning and turnover.
The ideal candidate will have experience creating and managing enterprise-level QA/QC programs for large-scale construction projects and possess a strong understanding of mission-critical infrastructure environments.
This is a strategic leadership role, not a field quality inspector position.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the Owner's Representative for all quality-related project activities.
• Develop and implement a comprehensive QA/QC program for a hyperscale data center project.
• Establish quality standards, reporting frameworks, inspection procedures, testing requirements, and performance metrics.
• Create and maintain project-wide quality management processes.
• Lead quality audits, compliance reviews, and quality assessments throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support commissioning and turnover activities to ensure quality requirements are achieved.
• Review documentation, test reports, inspection records, and project deliverables.
• Track quality trends and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Partner with contractors, consultants, commissioning teams, and project stakeholders to ensure quality expectations are met.
• Drive accountability across all teams while maintaining alignment with owner objectives.
• Develop corrective action plans and monitor resolution of quality issues.
• Provide regular updates and reporting to project leadership.

Required Qualifications

Must-Have Experience

• Experience developing and implementing QA/QC programs on large-scale construction projects.
• Previous experience serving as an Owner's Representative or working directly on the owner side of a project.
• Experience leading quality audits, compliance reviews, and commissioning-related quality activities.
• Strong understanding of quality management systems, reporting procedures, inspections, testing requirements, and turnover processes.

• Exceptional communication, leadership, and documentation skills.

Highly Preferred

• Hyperscale data center experience.
• Experience supporting mission-critical facilities.
• Experience building enterprise-level QA/QC programs from the ground up.
• Knowledge of commissioning processes and turnover requirements in complex infrastructure projects.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate understands how to develop quality programs that drive successful project outcomes rather than simply react to issues.

Candidates should be able to speak confidently about:

• Quality program development
• Quality governance
• Inspection and testing procedures

• Quality metrics and reporting
• Contractor accountability
• Turnover requirements
• Continuous improvement initiatives

Why This Opportunity?

• Lead the development of quality standards on a landmark hyperscale data center project.

• Work alongside industry-leading construction, engineering, and commissioning teams.
