Review design documents and provide feedback on constructability, maintainability, and quality assurance measures.

Develop and maintain quality control plans, factory/field inspection checklists, and relevant documentation.

Conduct onsite QAQC inspections for installation activities, ensuring compliance with AWS standards and specifications.

Coordinate with third-party Quality Control Agents/Vendors (QCA) to ensure comprehensive QAQC.

Facilitate regular QC meetings with stakeholders to review and address quality-related issues.

Monitor and report on quality metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) throughout the project lifecycle.

Identify, document, and track quality defects or non-conformances, ensuring timely resolution.

Compile and deliver comprehensive quality control turnover packages for each project phase.

Conduct final quality reviews and walkthroughs with key stakeholders prior to project handover.

Facilitate knowledge transfer to end customers on QAQC processes and lessons learned.

Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by analyzing quality data and proposing process enhancements.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Construction Management, Commissioning, and Data Center Engineering Operations to ensure seamless project execution.

Stay current with industry best practices and AWS-specific quality standards, incorporating them into quality control processes.

Willingness to travel to sites within your local cluster and occasional travel to various OSA or team project sites across North and South America
