Quality Control Manager

As Quality Control Manager (QCM), you plan, run and manage construction quality control (CQC) on your assigned projects. You make sure the work meets contract requirements, project specifications, applicable codes and industry standards. You lead the quality assurance and quality control procedures, oversee inspections and testing, manage quality documentation and direct corrective action on nonconforming work. You work closely with project management, subcontractors, inspectors and clients to find and fix quality issues early, supervise Assistant QCMs, and take on Assistant QCM duties as appropriate. You will handle project documentation under the client's information-handling requirements.
