  • Review subcontractor quality control plans and confirm compliance with project specifications and manufacturer installation requirements.
  • Maintain the master punch list and track completion of corrective work through final closeout.
  • Lead quality control meetings with subcontractors and maintain quality metrics for the project executive team.
  • Compile quality documentation, including ITRs, NCRs, and test reports, for the project closeout and turnover package.

Required Qualifications
