Site Quality (QA / QC Civil

QA / QC SITE LEAD Civil

Key Responsibilities :

Quality Management System (QMS) Development & Implementation :

o Develop, customize, implement, and maintain the Project Quality Plan (PQP) tailored for each data center campus project, in alignment with the company's overarching QMS (e.g., ISO 9001 principles).

o Create detailed Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), quality checklists, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all major construction activities across all disciplines (CSA, Electrical, Mechanical, FFP, ELV, IT / Network).

On-Site Quality Control & Inspection :

o Oversee and conduct regular, systematic quality inspections and surveillance activities at the construction site for all disciplines.

o Witness critical tests (e.g., concrete strength tests, rebar inspections, welding inspections, pressure testing of piping, duct leakage tests, insulation resistance tests, functional performance tests of equipment).

o Ensure all work executed by contractors and sub-contractors complies with approved drawings, specifications, method statements, and quality standards.

Non-Conformance Management :

o Establish and effectively manage the Non-Conformance Report (NCR) process, ensuring timely identification, documentation, issuance, and closure of all quality deviations.

o Lead root cause analysis for significant NCRs and implement robust corrective and preventive actions to avoid recurrence.

Documentation & Record Keeping :

o Manage and control all quality-related project documentation, including ITPs, QA / QC checklists, inspection reports, test certificates, material approval requests (MARs), submittal reviews, and as-built quality records.

o Ensure all documentation is properly recorded, reviewed, approved, distributed, and archived as per project requirements.

Material Quality Management :

o Develop and implement procedures for quality control of incoming construction materials, ensuring they meet specified requirements through inspection, sampling, and testing.

o Oversee the approval process for material submittals (MARs) in coordination with the design team.

Contractor Quality Performance Management :

o Review and approve contractors' project-specific Quality Plans, ITPs, and Method Statements.

o Regularly evaluate contractors' quality performance, identify weaknesses, and implement improvement initiatives.

o Conduct periodic quality performance reviews with contractors and provide necessary guidance.

Audits & Compliance :

o Plan and conduct internal quality audits to assess compliance with the PQP, QMS, and project-specific requirements.

o Facilitate external audits by clients, regulatory bodies, or certification agencies.

o Ensure adherence to all relevant Indian and international construction codes, standards (e.g., BIS, ASTM, ACI, NFPA, ASHRAE, TIA-942, Uptime Institute), and environmental regulations.

Training & Awareness :

o Provide quality awareness training and specific QA / QC process training to internal site teams and contractor personnel.

o Foster a culture of quality and continuous improvement across the project site.

Inter-Departmental Coordination & Reporting :

o Work closely with the Design Department to ensure design intent is clearly understood and translated into construction quality.

o Collaborate with Construction Executives (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, ELV / BMS), Project Managers, and the Commissioning Team to ensure quality requirements are integrated throughout the project lifecycle, from construction to final handover.

o Prepare and present comprehensive quality performance reports to the Manager - Campus Construction and senior management, highlighting key metrics, trends, and improvement areas.

Continuous Improvement :

o Drive lessons learned initiatives from quality non-conformances to enhance future project quality and efficiency.

o Research and propose new quality tools, technologies, or methodologies relevant to data center construction
