Job Details

QA/QC Manager

Location: Red Oak, TX (Dallas Metro)
Type: Full-Time, Exempt
Work Schedule: On-site, 610s (Monday Saturday); no weekend travel
Reports To: Director of Quality or Project Executive
Project Context: 20+ MW hyperscale data center build (through 2026)

Must-Have Qualifications

  • Experience:
    • 8+ years in electrical QA/QC for contractors (not or owner-rep)
    • Mission-critical or MV ( 480 V) experience
  • Certifications: OSHA 30 + NFPA 70E (mandatory)
  • Technical Tools: Procore, Accubid, Microsoft Project, SharePoint
  • Field Skillset:
    • Hands-on inspection of conduit, grounding, switchgear, terminations
    • ITP/NCR/punch list ownership
  • Regulatory Knowledge: NEC 2023 (especially Articles 250, 300, 310)

Execution Environment

  • Field-First Culture: Must lead inspections in real-time, side-by-side with Superintendents and Foremen.
  • Client Scrutiny: Must deliver zero-defect quality to hyperscale clients (e.g., AWS, Meta).
  • Field QA Documentation: Owns and maintains inspection logs, submittals, punch items, and test reports.
  • Cross-Functional Integration: Works with Safety, Engineering, Procurement, and Commissioning.

Exclusion Filters (Hard Stops)

  • No or owner-rep backgrounds without direct electrical oversight
  • No union candidates unable to commit to 610 schedule
  • No office-only QA/QC professionals field execution is mandatory

Sourcing Pain Points

  • False Positives: Candidates with manufacturing/pharma QA may match keywords but lack field electrical relevance
  • Voltage Gap: Candidates with <480 V experience must be flagged unless scaling is clearly coachable
  • Title Mismatch: QA/QC Directors or Engineers may lack field inspection or install support background

Top Screening Questions

  1. Describe a time you led QA inspections for a MV electrical scope. What voltage, and what challenges did you face?
  2. How do you manage ITPs and NCRs in Procore or equivalent tools? What s your QA turnover strategy?
  3. Have you worked a 610 schedule on-site through the lifecycle of a hyperscale project? Any constraints?

Strategic Takeaways

  • This role is not QA in name only it s inspection-forward and field-embedded.
  • True fit = industrial execution mindset + zero-defect standard + MV-capable QA lead.
  • Use behavioral screening to surface decisive, meticulous, and field-trusted candidates who can mentor trades and hold the line on spec.
