ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
- Minimum of 10 years’ construction experience in construction quality control
- Conduct preparatory, initial, and follow-up meetings to establish an understanding of the standards of care desired for each definable feature of work
- Have a thorough and complete knowledge and understanding of the contract, each subcontract, and the plans and specifications to assist the Project Manager in the development of the onsite procedures.

- Review shop drawings and submittals for conformance with project specifications by direct review and by leveraging the knowledge and experience of others in the project team when necessary
- Chair and document weekly QC meetings and provide written minutes as described in project-specific contract documents
- Provide daily QC reports that reinforce activities that are being constructed in conformance with each specific project’s established standard, and constructively confront non-conformances to produce the desired outcome promptly

- Coordinate and document the testing and commissioning of building systems
- Perform quality control testing and inspection in adherence with contract requirements and company best practices
QUALIFICATIONS/REQUIREMENTS:
- Minimum 10 years’ federal contracting as a CQCM on federal agency projects in the construction industry with a general contractor engaged in general building construction

- A combination of a high school diploma with QC experience and certifications will be considered
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers “Construction Quality Management for Contractors” Certification

- US citizenship with no dual citizenship is the minimum requirement for the clearance process.
- Experience similar to Pentagon and DoD projects.
- Demonstrate that the candidate maintained long-term employment (beyond 1-2 years), as our projects span up to 7 years and require consistency and commitment.
