Site Quality

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 Skills/Exp Education : Bachelors Degree in Civil ; Add. Qualifications :Lead Auditor certification for ISO 9001:2015; Quality-related certifications (e.g., Six Sigma Green/Black Belt, ASQ Certified Quality Engineer) 15- 20 years of progressive experience in Quality Assurance and Quality Control management roles within the construction industry and should have sound knowledge of IS codes and its implementations DC Specific Exp : Minimum 5-7 years of direct, hands-on experience in a leadership or senior quality role on large-scale industrial, commercial or data centers
