• Experience with RMS/QCS (Resident Management System, Quality Control System module) for daily QC reports, deficiency tracking, and submittal records
• Working knowledge of USACE QC specifications , including UFGS Section 01 45 00 (Quality Control) and how it ties to the project’s contract specs
• Familiarity with EM 385-1-1 (USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual) and how safety and quality overlap on site
• Comfort working directly with USACE Quality Assurance representatives , including joint inspections, deficiency resolution, and documentation reviews

What You’ll Do

• Inspect mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations to confirm they match drawings, specifications, codes, and approved submittals
• Lead preparatory, initial, and follow-up inspections for MEP features of work, and document each phase in RMS/QCS
• Identify, log, and close out deficiencies with trade partners and the project team
• Produce daily QC reports, inspection logs, and test records that hold up to government review
• Witness and document testing, including pipe pressure tests, insulation resistance (megger) testing, and equipment startups
• Review MEP submittals for compliance before installation begins
• Coordinate daily with the QC Manager, superintendents, subcontractors, and USACE QA staff
• Support system turnover, commissioning, and closeout documentation as systems come online

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of MEP quality control or inspection experience on commercial, institutional, or federal construction
• At least one project completed under a USACE quality program
• Current CQM-C certification
• Strong working knowledge of MEP systems and the codes that govern them (NEC, IMC, IPC, or local equivalents)
• Clear, thorough documentation habits and experience managing a deficiency log
• Comfort working onsite daily and coordinating across multiple trades
• OSHA 30 preferred (OSHA 10 at minimum)

Preferred

• Life science, pharmaceutical, or other highly regulated project experience (cleanrooms, process piping, validation support)
• Trade background as an electrician, pipefitter, plumber, or HVAC technician
• Experience on other federal programs such as NAVFAC or VA projects
