Construction QA/QC Program Manager

A day in the life in Bremerton, WA

You start your morning walking the jobsite, reviewing the latest work against drawings and specs.

Midday, you meet with the project manager, design team, and key subcontractors to align on quality thresholds and safety interfaces. In the afternoon, you coach a junior engineer on inspection checklists, update the QC plan to reflect a new material submittal, and share recommendations with the client to head off rework before it starts.
