Provide routine quality reporting, including inspection status, NCR trends, and commissioning readiness.

Track quality performance metrics such as inspection completion, NCR trends, and rework.

Identify gaps and implement corrective actions to improve field execution and reduce defects.

Ensure all activities remain within HES authority, limited to inspection, verification, documentation, and corrective action for electrical scope only.
