- Identify, document, and track deficiencies, fabrication errors, and non-conforming materials, ensuring corrective actions are completed
- Prepare and maintain inspection reports, non-conformance reports (NCRs), deficiency lists, and other quality control documentation
- Work closely with Project Managers, Estimators, Shop Foremen, and Site Superintendents to address quality concerns and resolve technical issues
- Support employee training and onboarding by communicating quality standards, inspection requirements, and best practices
- Maintain accurate quality assurance records and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across manufacturing and field operations
- Support the development and expansion of the company's QA/QC processes across multiple projects and job sites

- Diploma or degree in Construction Management, Building Science, Architectural Technology, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field
- A recognized trade certification in glazing, sheet metal, roofing, or a related construction trade, combined with relevant QA/QC experience, will also be considered
- Minimum 2–3 years of quality assurance or quality control experience in construction, manufacturing, fabrication, or a related industry
- Experience working in a manufacturing facility, fabrication shop, or assembly environment involving architectural or building envelope systems
- Strong understanding of commercial glazing, curtain wall systems, architectural cladding, sheet metal fabrication, and roofing systems
