• Review plans, specifications, submittals, RFIs, shop drawings, and approved materials before work begins
• Coordinate testing, inspections, mockups, and required documentation with subcontractors, project leadership, government representatives, and third-party testing agencies
• Conduct daily field inspections to verify that workmanship, materials, and installations meet project requirements
• Address the quality challenges of renovating existing facilities, including existing conditions, demolition, phasing, and system upgrades
• Identify quality concerns early and work with the Superintendent, Project Manager, subcontractors, and government representatives to resolve them
• Maintain accurate daily QC reports, inspection records, testing documentation, deficiency logs, and corrective action records
• Monitor subcontractor performance and verify that deficiencies are corrected and properly documented
• Participate in progress meetings, coordination meetings, and government quality reviews
• Support closeout, punch list completion, commissioning, turnover documentation, and final acceptance
• Promote a proactive quality culture focused on compliance, accountability, and preventing rework
