Quality Control Manager

Fleet Data Centers•Sparks, NV

31d•Onsite

About The Position

The Site Quality Manager is the owner-side leader accountable for construction quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) on a Fleet data center campus. Reporting to the Quality Control Director — not to site construction leadership — this role provides independent verification that the work is built right the first time, in conformance with Fleet’s design documents, specifications, and quality standards. The independent reporting line is deliberate: it insulates quality decisions from schedule and cost pressure so issues are called honestly. The Site Quality Manager is dedicated to quality and is a peer to the site Commissioning (Cx) Manager, who sits in a separate matrix pillar. The two partner closely — QA/QC verifies installation conformance and turnover readiness; commissioning verifies functional performance — but report through different lines to preserve independent verification of the asset.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related technical field, OR equivalent practical construction QA/QC experience.
10+ years of construction quality (QA/QC) experience on large-scale, fast-tracked, mission-critical, or heavy industrial projects, including significant site-based quality leadership. Owner/operator or developer experience preferred; a strong general contractor or trade-partner quality background at this scale is also considered.
Working knowledge of QA/QC across CSA and MEP scopes, inspection and test plans, nonconformance/corrective-action processes, and turnover documentation.
Familiarity with applicable codes and standards and with commissioning interfaces (L1–L5).
Proficiency with Procore (or equivalent), quality/inspection tools, and Microsoft Office Suite.

Nice To Haves

Experience on data center or mission-critical facilities.
Relevant quality credentials (e.g., CQM, CWI, or equivalent) are a plus.
Detail-oriented, objective, and comfortable holding the line on quality in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

Implement and maintain the campus quality plan, inspection and test plans (ITPs), and quality standards set by the Quality Control Director, tailored to the campus scopes (CSA, MEP, and power).
Own the owner-side inspection program — witness points, hold points, and material/installation verification — confirming work conforms to Fleet design documents, specifications, and applicable codes before it is covered or advanced.
Audit and hold the General Contractor’s and trade partners’ quality programs accountable, verifying their inspections, tests, and documentation are complete and credible rather than duplicating them.
Identify, document, and track nonconformance reports (NCRs) and deficiencies to closure; verify root-cause corrective actions rather than accepting rework alone.
Own the campus quality record — inspection records, test results, certifications, mill/material certs, and as-installed documentation — as the evidence base for turnover.
Verify QA/QC completion and punch-list closure for each scope, and partner with the Site Commissioning Manager so installation conformance is confirmed ahead of functional commissioning and asset turnover.
Feed recurring defects, lessons learned, and constructability/quality trends back to the Quality Control Director to improve Fleet’s standards and prevent repeat issues across campuses.
Provide an objective, independent quality assessment to the Quality Control Director and site leadership, escalating quality risks without regard to schedule pressure.
Work collaboratively with the site construction team, trade partners, and the Commissioning Manager to build quality into the work rather than police it after the fact.
Coach field staff and trade partners on Fleet quality expectations, inspection discipline, and documentation standards.
