Quality Manager- Germany

Role Summary:

The QA Manager is responsible for implementing, managing, and enforcing all on-site Quality Assurance procedures for roofing and cladding systems. This role plays a key part in delivering high-quality installations through rigorous control, documentation, and proactive communication with project teams and clients. The QA Manager will take ownership of the full QA process on site — from First-Off-Checks (FOKs) and Inspection Test Plans (ITPs), to detailed build-up documentation and final area handovers.

The role is field-based and requires a strong understanding of envelope construction, particularly in managing quality milestones, coordinating hold points, tracking air seal installations, and leading the 3-stage handover process (W1, W2, W3). The QA Manager will use Procore and other tools to provide visual evidence, ensure compliance, and drive timely handovers.
