QA/QC Owner’s Representative - HTO

Job Description

An employer in Texas is looking for a Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Representative to join the onsite team at one of several hyperscale data center construction sites across the state, including the Dallas, Austin and Amarillo areas. This individual will serve as the owner’s quality lead on site, acting as the eyes and ears on installation quality from early construction through Level 2 commissioning. On new projects, this role typically starts two to three months ahead of commissioning activity to set the quality foundation for the build. On a daily basis, they will perform field inspections of mechanical and electrical installations, verify work against drawings, specifications and code, review contractor quality plans and inspection and test plans, and document deficiencies and track them through to closure. They will work closely with the general contractor and subcontractors to establish strong quality practices early and keep quality high even as delivery timelines accelerate. This role oversees and verifies the work rather than directing it, so success depends on raising issues clearly, backing them with documentation, and maintaining productive working relationships with the contractor team. As the project moves into systems testing, they will partner closely with the Commissioning Owner’s Representative and support Level 1 and Level 2 activities, including pre-functional checklists and equipment start-up verification. This is a 12-month onsite assignment at a single site, with extensions likely, typically running 50 to 55 hours per week. Success in this role requires a strong inspection and quality background on mission-critical or large industrial construction, sharp attention to detail, and the ability to keep pace in a fast-moving, 24/7 delivery environment.

Skills and Requirements

• QA/QC or field inspection experience on hyperscale or mission-critical data center construction projects
• Strong knowledge of electrical and/or mechanical installation standards, including electrical code (NEC)
