Ensure all construction activities, materials, and processes meet or exceed the required quality standards and specifications.

Conduct regular inspections, audits, and reviews of construction work to identify areas for improvement and ensure compliance with technical drawings and standards.

1. Material Inspection & Testing
   
   Inspect and approve the materials and supplies used on-site, ensuring they meet the project specifications and regulatory requirements.
   
   Supervise and coordinate the sampling, testing, and evaluation of construction materials (e.g., concrete, steel, aggregates).
   
   Ensure that all testing results are documented and any deviations from specifications are addressed immediately.

2. Quality Assurance & Control Procedures
   
   Establish and enforce quality control procedures for all construction activities, including earthworks, concrete pouring, structural work, and finishing. Review construction plans, drawings, and specifications for accuracy and potential issues before work begins.
   
   Identify potential quality issues early and work proactively to resolve them, minimizing disruptions to the project timeline.

3. Inspection & Documentation
   
   Conduct routine inspections to monitor the progress of construction and assess the quality of work.
   
   Maintain detailed records of inspections, test results, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and corrective actions.
   
   Ensure proper documentation of all quality-related issues and resolutions, maintaining traceability throughout the project.

4. Non-Conformance Management
   
   Identify, record, and report any non-conformance or deviations from the quality standards and project specifications.
   
   Coordinate with the project team to implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) to address quality issues and avoid future occurrences.
   
   Monitor the implementation of corrective actions to ensure that issues are resolved in a timely and effective manner.

5. Collaboration with Project Team
   
   Work closely with project managers, site engineers, and subcontractors to ensure quality expectations are met across all phases of the project.
   
   Provide technical guidance and advice to site teams regarding quality control procedures and best practices.
   
   Participate in project meetings to report on quality control issues and progress.

6. Training & Awareness
   
   Train and mentor construction staff and subcontractors on quality control procedures, standards, and best practices.
   
   Promote quality awareness across the site by conducting regular briefings and awareness sessions for the entire team.

7. Safety Compliance
   
   Ensure that quality control procedures align with safety regulations and that safety standards are adhered to during inspections.
   
   Work with the health and safety team to ensure that quality processes do not compromise safety.

8. Reporting & Documentation
   
   Prepare detailed quality control reports, including inspection results, non-conformance reports, and corrective actions taken. Submit regular progress updates to the senior management and project team regarding quality performance.
