About The Position

The QA/QC Program Engineer develops and monitors quality program metrics to evaluate project performance, investigates concerning trends, and works with relevant parties to address root causes. The role helps develop the on-site partner’s construction QA/QC team and supports effective QA/QC processes, standards, and cross-functional communication. It serves as an interface among design, construction, safety, facility operations, and general contractors. The engineer provides quality-procedure training, coordinates quality issues, audits staff and subcontractor activities, and reviews submittals—particularly mechanical, electrical, controls, and plumbing (MECP) documents—for compliance with QC standards. The role conducts quality engineering reviews of design documentation, vendor quality manuals, and company quality records, and develops, reviews, and approves construction quality procedures, testing matrices, checklists, technical deliverables, test procedures, and plans. The position recommends and verifies corrective and preventive actions for project non-conformances and quality issues. It reviews commissioning scripts and schedules, supports turnover-package reviews, tracks open issues through closure, and assists with testing documentation, installed labeling, signage, and tagging. The engineer attends factory witness tests as required and performs or supports onsite visual inspections and observations of construction quality for OFCI and CFCI equipment and systems. The role also helps develop project QA/QC dashboards, equipment tracking matrices, and semi-annual QA/QC presentations, and attends required project and commissioning meetings.
