Ensure all concrete construction activities comply with project specifications, structural drawings, ACI, ASTM, PCI, OSHA, and applicable building code requirements.
Collaborate with Project Managers, Superintendents, Layout Engineers, and Foremen during preconstruction to identify quality expectations, critical tolerances, inspection requirements, and potential constructability concerns.

Oversee quality control of Tilt-Wall construction, including panel forms, reinforcing placement, reveal installation, architectural finishes, embeds, lifting inserts, brace connections, panel casting, erection tolerances, and final alignment.
Ensure compliance with stringent quality requirements for Mission Critical/Data Center projects where structural precision, schedule adherence, and documentation are essential to client success.

Concrete sampling and testing
Compression testing
Reinforcing inspections
Post-tension inspections

Lead quality investigations and recommend process improvements that reduce rework and improve operational efficiency.
Coordinate mock-ups, first-placement inspections, and benchmark installations to establish project quality standards before production work begins.
Maintain comprehensive quality documentation including inspection reports, testing records, concrete placement logs, pour checklists, corrective actions, RFIs, redline drawings, and turnover documentation.
Conduct periodic quality audits across active projects to verify compliance with company standards and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
Partner with Operations Leadership to evaluate recurring quality concerns and implement standardized best practices across all projects.
Train and mentor Project Managers, Superintendents, Foremen, Layout Engineers, and field personnel on company quality standards, inspection requirements, and industry best practices.
Promote a culture of accountability where quality ownership is shared across all project team members.
Participate in project turnover meetings and ensure all required quality documentation is complete prior to project closeout.
Support owner representatives, architects, engineers, inspectors, and testing agencies during quality reviews and project inspections.
Assist with warranty investigations and quality-related field issues after project completion.
Perform additional duties as assigned in support of operational excellence and continuous improvement.
