Senior Staff Quality Control (QC) Engineer

Crusoe•Abilene, TX

1d•$165,000 - $195,000•Onsite

About The Position

As a Senior Staff Quality Control (QC) Engineer, you will serve as a senior technical authority for construction quality across Crusoe’s mission-critical data center infrastructure. You will define, standardize, and improve quality engineering practices across major construction scopes, with deep focus on MEP systems, commissioning readiness, inspection standards, defect prevention, and turnover integrity. This is a highly field-driven, technically deep role at the intersection of construction, engineering, MEP systems, and commissioning — where quality directly impacts uptime, performance, capital efficiency, and long-term reliability.

Requirements

10+ years of experience in construction QA/QC, quality engineering, field engineering, commissioning support, or related technical construction roles
Deep technical understanding of MEP systems in mission-critical, industrial, or large-scale infrastructure environments
Strong experience with electrical distribution, mechanical/cooling systems, controls, system integration, and construction-to-commissioning handoff
Proven ability to develop or improve ITPs, inspection plans, quality standards, checklists, NCR processes, punch management, and turnover documentation practices
Strong ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, technical submittals, test reports, commissioning documents, and code requirements
Experience using defect tracking, trend analysis, root cause methodology, and corrective action frameworks to improve quality outcomes
Comfortable influencing GCs, subcontractors, engineering teams, commissioning teams, and internal stakeholders without relying on direct authority
Strong field presence with the ability to identify installation risks, technical issues, and quality gaps before they become downstream failures
Systems thinker who understands how construction quality impacts commissioning, operations, uptime, and long-term asset performance
Highly organized, analytical, and detail-oriented, with strong documentation and communication skills
Willingness to be on-site full-time on site.
Ability to travel to other Crusoe construction sites as needed
Ability to hold contractors and internal stakeholders accountable to quality standards, including escalation when necessary
Commitment to maintaining high standards in safety, quality, documentation, and execution excellence

Nice To Haves

Data center or hyperscale experience with companies such as AWS, Meta, Google, Microsoft, or similar
Experience in complex large-scale construction environments such as healthcare, semiconductor, refinery, central plants, power, or industrial infrastructure
Experience working closely with commissioning teams on pre-functional, functional, and integrated systems testing
Familiarity with Procore, BIM360, Autodesk Build, Bluebeam, commissioning platforms, or similar construction/quality tools
Relevant certifications such as CQM, CQI, PMP, Lean Six Sigma, ASQ, or similar
Experience creating quality standards, inspection libraries, lessons-learned programs, or quality playbooks at scale

Responsibilities

Serve as a senior technical QC leader across large-scale, mission-critical data center construction projects
Define and improve program-level quality engineering standards, inspection methods, and acceptance criteria
Work across multiple tenant quality programs and reconcile differing spec and flow-down requirements.
Develop, refine, and govern Inspection Test Plans, checklists, inspection workflows, and quality documentation standards across civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, controls, and commissioning-related scopes
Ensure critical MEP systems — including electrical distribution, mechanical/cooling systems, controls, and related infrastructure — are installed in accordance with design intent, specifications, submittals, code requirements, and performance expectations
Partner closely with Construction, Design, Commissioning, Operations, GCs, subcontractors, OEMs, AHJs, and third-party inspectors to drive consistent quality outcomes
Provide senior-level technical review of drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, field changes, and construction execution plans from a quality and constructability perspective
Lead root cause analysis for recurring defects, non-conformances, rework drivers, and system-level quality failures
Establish defect taxonomies, trend reporting, and quality metrics that provide visibility into systemic risk and performance across scopes or projects
Drive pre-functional and functional readiness standards in partnership with commissioning teams
Provide technical quality sign-off recommendations for systems prior to commissioning, energization, turnover, and operational handoff
Review and validate non-conformance reports, corrective action plans, punch lists, inspection results, test reports, as-builts, redlines, O&M manuals, and turnover packages
Identify quality risks early and influence corrective action before issues impact schedule, commissioning, cost, or reliability
Translate field lessons learned into scalable standards, playbooks, and repeatable quality practices
Mentor QC Engineers, QC Managers, construction teams, and trade partners on technical quality standards and inspection discipline
Support audit readiness and maintain high-quality documentation and reporting standards across assigned projects or campus scopes
