The Superintendent will ensure that the combination of their efforts results in a cohesive product that achieves the required quality and is completed in the shortest possible time. To that end, the Superintendent must continually work to enforce adequate staffing of the workforce, sufficient supply of materials, complete information as necessary to assemble the end product, and must plan for all these things enough in advance so as not to interfere with the progress of any one component.

QUALITY CONTROL MANAGER

  • The Quality Control Manager (QCM) is responsible for ensuring quality is proactively controlled from project initiation through closeout.

    The prowess of the QCM is the cornerstone of project excellence and customer satisfaction. This role demands a specialized skill set that marries precision with leadership, ensuring that every project meets each stringent contract requirements.   Therefore, the QCM must be equipped with a variety of skills that span from technical knowledge and analytical thinking, to communication and teamwork.

    • Report to the Project Manager and carry out their directives with respect to quality control.

    • Gain a masterful command of the project plans, specifications, and manufacturer's data; and understand their association with the quality standards and requirements owed per the terms of the contract.
