Raise is currently hiring a contract team member on behalf of our client. They’re expanding their team to meet growing needs, making this a unique opportunity to work with an industry leader.

Our client is seeking a Senior Quality Advisor to join the Systems Completion and Quality group within Global Projects, based at the Houston campus in Spring, Texas. This is a newly created role, established after Global Projects recognized over the past year the need for a consistent quality program across its Brownfield project sites. The Senior Quality Advisor will partner with the Brownfield Projects organization to align each site on quality standards and a common technical framework, then help those sites build and staff their own local quality organizations.

This is a program implementation role, not an execution role, with the strongest emphasis on procurement and construction quality and a focus on quality assurance over quality control. Near‑term work centers on U.S. Gulf Coast sites, with international reach to Europe, Nigeria, Guyana, and Singapore as the program expands.

• Lead the rollout of a new quality program across Brownfield project sites, starting with the U.S. Gulf Coast and extending to international locations.
• Partner with each site to align on the quality standards and technical framework the program will work toward.
• Assess the quality maturity of each site and tailor support, providing hands‑on guidance where programs are new and lighter‑touch oversight where they are established.
• Identify each site's quality resource needs and help local teams define, staff, and stand up their quality organizations.
• Drive quality assurance planning, defining up front what must be done from a quality management standpoint across engineering, procurement, and construction.
• Guide procurement quality programs, including source inspection and supplier surveillance, and help teams understand what happens in vendor shops.
• Articulate procurement and construction quality risks so project teams can prioritize where to focus attention.
• Apply practical field construction quality experience to strengthen site QA/QC practices and management.
• Support local sites through the change management required to adopt the new quality program.
• Influence stakeholders across multinational teams with different cultures and ways of working to build alignment on quality expectations.
• Travel to domestic and international sites to build face‑to‑face relationships, with trips typically lasting up to one week.
• Maintain ongoing interface with site teams after programs are running to sustain implementation and address emerging needs.
• Prepare and deliver clear written materials and presentations for site teams and Global Projects leadership.

• 15 or more years of progressive quality experience on capital projects in an industrial environment.
• Owner-side experience working on behalf of a major International Oil Company (IOC) for a sustained period.
• In-depth procurement quality experience, including managing source inspection and supplier surveillance on projects.
• In-depth construction quality experience, including practical field experience and quality management on site.
• Quality management experience weighted toward quality assurance and program planning, supported by a solid quality control foundation.
• General understanding of engineering quality and how it fits within the project lifecycle.
• A consistent career track within the quality discipline, with sustained tenure on assignments and clear progression from QC toward QA and management.
• Proven ability to influence teams and work…
