  • Review civil material submittals, mix designs, MTRs, aggregate gradations, and batch tickets to confirm contractor validation of material compliance; escalate discrepancies, substitutions, missing certs, or failed material tests to the Civil QA Lead
  • Identify and document QA discrepancies (earthwork, concrete, reinforcing steel, utilities, drainage) with photos, measurements, and test data; track corrective action closeout per the project QA program
  • Maintain QA surveillance records, audit reports, NCN logs, field test observations, and field notes; communicate findings to the Civil QA Lead and contractor QC, and capture lessons learned for continuous improvement

What You'll Bring
  • Minimum of 8 years' experience as a quality inspector on large-scale industrial projects with at least 3 years as a client / owner quality representative
  • Demonstrated ability to read, interpret, and analyze discipline-specific technical documents, communicate effectively with contractor QC teams and the Civil QA Lead
  • Demonstrates advanced knowledge of quality assurance program requirements and key construction codes (e.g., ACI, IBC, ASTM, AASHTO); proficiency with inspection tools (e.g., concrete slump cones, ultrasonic pulse velocity meters, cover meters, rebar locators, ground penetrating radar)
  • Demonstrates advanced problem-solving skills and the ability to investigate, analyze, and help resolve complex quality issues and report QA findings with recommended corrective actions for nonconformances
  • Possesses a comprehensive understanding of quality management principles and the ability to apply them throughout all phases of the project and system turnover walkdowns
