Position Overview


Job Description Summary
Supports deployment of the Quality strategy through direct execution of project Quality activities at supplier, integrator, test, and customer-site locations. Develops and implements Project Quality Plans; performs structural, mechanical, electrical, and documentation inspections; coordinates FAT and IFAT activities; identifies nonconformances; and drives corrective-action and punch-list closure. Maintains complete project Quality records and provides objective evidence supporting shipment readiness and customer requirements.

Core Responsibilities
Develop and execute Project Quality Plans, inspection plans, hold points, and witness-point activities for assigned projects.
Perform supplier, integrator, in-process, pre-IFAT, IFAT, pre-shipment, and site inspections as assigned.
Review current drawings, specifications, ITPs, travelers, material records, calibration records, and applicable supplier Quality documentation.
Verify structural and mechanical conformity, including dimensions, leveling, squareness, equipment installation, welding records, coating records, and traceability documentation.
Verify electrical integration against approved drawings and requirements, including grounding and bonding, conductor identification, terminations, clearances, cable routing, equipment labeling, and documented test results.
Coordinate NCR, SCAR, punch-list, containment, corrective-action, and closure-evidence activities.
Confirm required checklists, signatures, test records, redlines, and shipment-readiness documentation are complete.
Provide clear Quality reporting to PMO, Engineering, suppliers, customers, and Quality leadership.
Comply with applicable HSE controls, electrical safe-work requirements, PPE, LOTO, testing boundaries, and client procedures.
Capture lessons learned and support prevention of recurring project and supplier issues.

Qualifications / Requirements
Bachelor degree in engineering, quality, manufacturing, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent technical education and relevant experience.
3-5 years, Relevant experience with low- and medium-voltage electrical distribution equipment, eHouses/PDCs, industrial fabrication, integration, manufacturing Quality, or field Quality.
Ability to read and interpret single-line diagrams, general arrangements, schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment drawings, weld documentation, and inspection/test records.
Working knowledge of structured problem solving, NCR/SCAR processes, corrective action, and objective evidence.
Effective written and verbal communication with suppliers, customers, Engineering, PMO, and field teams.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience with FAT/IFAT execution, electrical distribution equipment, supplier Quality, or integrated eHouse/PDC projects.
Knowledge of NEC, OSHA electrical safety expectations, AWS structural welding documentation, coating inspection, and calibration control.
ASQ CQE, supplier Quality, welding inspection, coating inspection, or electrical testing credentials appropriate to assigned scope.

Certifications and Role Readiness
Required at hire or within the role-readiness period established with HR and Quality leadership:
The client electrical safety qualification appropriate to assigned responsibilities, including ECAP Level 3 and PICW when the employee is expected to perform or control applicable electrical work.
OSHA 30 or equivalent construction/industrial safety training for regular supplier and field activity.
Current CPR/AED/First Aid where required by site or HSE expectations.
For structural/welding inspection scope: AWS CWI is preferred for personnel independently accepting weld quality; otherwise the QE verifies supplier CWI, WPS/PQR, welder qualifications, weld maps, and NDE records and escalates acceptance questions to qualified personnel.
For electrical testing scope: manufacturer or employer-authorized training for Megger, ductor/contact resistance, and dielectric/hipot test witnessing; NICET Electrical Power Testing may be considered as a preferred external credential where the assigned scope warrants it.
For coating scope: AMPP coating inspector training or equivalent may be preferred when independent coating acceptance is a material part of the role.

Travel and Work Environment
Requires travel to suppliers, integrators, factories, IFAT locations, and customer sites, including short-notice travel based on project schedules. Work may occur around active fabrication, testing, energized-equipment controls, construction, and shipping activities.

HR Leveling Notes
Level based on independence, technical breadth, equipment complexity, decision authority, and ability to lead inspections without direct supervision.
Higher-level placement should reflect demonstrated MV/eHouse integration capability, IFAT leadership, customer-facing responsibility, and ownership of complex NCR/SCAR closure.
Do not use certification count alone to determine level; evaluate applied scope, authority, complexity, and business impact.

Internal Alignment Note
This draft is designed for Workday and HR review. Final job profile, grade, compensation range, required credentials, and timing for completion remain subject to HR, Legal, HSE, and functional approval.
