Major Responsibilities:

Quality Management System & Quality Oversight

• Support and verify implementation of the Project Quality Plan (PQP), Project QMS, and quality procedures for assigned electrical/I&C areas across all project phases, and monitor and report on implementation status and effectiveness.
• Verify materials, workmanship, and specification/code requirements with emphasis on E&I scopes — HV/MV/LV distribution, switchgear, transformers and rotating machines, cable and terminations, grounding and lightning protection, protective relaying, and instrumentation and control systems — and review schedules for timely PQP implementation.
• Identify and record quality concerns; initiate documented corrective actions and manage them to closure in the Closed Loop Corrective Action (CLCA) system using DevonWay; and lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and causal analysis to implement and verify corrective measures and prevent recurrence.
• Develop project-specific quality metrics, analyze surveillance effectiveness, and verify collection and upload of Best Practices and Lessons Learned to DevonWay; and lead QMS orientation and training, mentor assigned personnel, and foster a culture of quality, safety, and teamwork.

Audits, Surveillance & Reporting

• Support the Project Quality Audit & Surveillance Schedule and independently plan, perform, and document internal and external audits and surveillances of Bechtel and of subcontractors and suppliers, managing the closure of findings with minimal supervision from the PQM.
