• Represent Quality with the Owner and GC. Serve as the quality point of contact for audits, pre-installation meetings, record submissions, quality findings, and weekly and executive project reviews.

• Lead the QA/QC Team. Set priorities and inspection coverage across areas and shifts, assign work, and develop the QA/QC Specialists and QA/QC Energy Marshal.

• Champion Safety Culture. Lead by example in upholding safety standards and supporting best practices across field and office environments, reinforcing expectations established by project leadership and the on-site Safety Manager.

• Crave Learning. We value people who want to grow through hands-on experience, training, and mentorship. Be active in identifying and engaging in these opportunities.
