• You will enforce compliance with applicable codes, standards, and regulations including NEC/NFPA 70, IEEE standards, NEMA standards, OSHA requirements, utility requirements, and project-specific specifications.
• You will serve as a subject matter resource for quality and code compliance, ensuring all installations meet functional, regulatory, and safety requirements.
• You will proactively identify, document, track, and escalate non-conformances, deviations, and quality-related concerns while ensuring timely resolution and corrective action implementation.
• You will prepare, complete, and maintain detailed quality documentation including inspection reports, quality checklists, punch lists, deficiency reports, and non-conformance reports (NCRs).
• You will review and validate QA/QC turnover documentation packages to support commissioning readiness, system turnover, and final client acceptance.
• You will coordinate closely with construction supervisors, field personnel, engineering teams, client representatives, and third-party inspectors to align project quality expectations and execution.
• You will provide real-time field guidance and technical clarification to installation teams to ensure quality standards and installation requirements are consistently understood and applied.
• You will participate in site meetings, quality reviews, inspections, and project progress discussions to communicate quality performance, project risks, and resolution strategies.
• You will prepare inspection work packs, organize drawings and documentation, and ensure inspection readiness to support efficient execution of scheduled inspections and approvals.

• You have strong working knowledge of electrical systems, substation equipment, installation methodologies, and construction sequencing across multiple disciplines.
• You have the ability to interpret complex drawings, schematics, specifications, and technical documentation with a high degree of accuracy.
• You have demonstrated experience with QA/QC programs, inspection protocols, testing procedures, and documentation management throughout the full project lifecycle from construction through turnover.
• You have exceptional attention to detail and a strong commitment to quality excellence, safety, compliance, and operational integrity.
• You have strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities with the ability to proactively identify, investigate, and resolve issues before escalation.
