Verification and Approval: Thoroughly reviewing and signing off on all quality-related documentation from their subcontractors, including their method statements and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs).
Site Surveillance: Conducting regular site inspections and audits to make sure work is compliant with the specifications, drawings, and all relevant regulatory standards.
Enforcement: Issuing Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) immediately when standards are not met, and proactively supporting the CSA team to identify and implement the necessary corrective actions.
Documentation Management: Maintaining a meticulous, auditable record of all quality checks, inspections, tests, and material certifications.
Collaboration: Working closely with the design teams, the Project's engineers, and all subcontractors to ensure quality issues are resolved quickly and efficiently.
Final Handover: Playing a critical role in the close-out phase, making sure the complete quality dossier, O&M manuals, and all final QA/QC documentation are prepared accurately and on time for the end client.
Culture: Fostering a robust culture of quality, health, and safety awareness across all trade contractors.
