The QA/QC Inspector is a detail-oriented team player who ensures the quality and safety of the electrical products and services installed and/or provided by the field team, adhering to industry standards and company policies.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Implement and maintain quality assurance protocols to ensure compliance with national and international electrical standards.


• Conduct regular inspections of materials, components, and finished products to verify adherence to specifications.


• Maintain detailed records of inspections, tests, and non-conformance reports. Prepare comprehensive reports for management review.


• Perform tests on electrical components and systems, documenting results and identifying discrepancies.


• Work closely with engineering, production, and project management teams to resolve quality issues and improve processes.


• Assist in training staff on quality control processes and best practices.


• Ensure all operations comply with health, safety, and environmental regulations.


• Participate in quality improvement initiatives and recommend process enhancements.


• Critical Infrastructure Testing- validate redundancy systems (UPS, generators, switchgear) and verifying electrical reliability for data centers, hospitals, and other mission critical facilities.


• assisting in commissioning activities and ensuring documentation aligns with client turnover requirements (as-built verification, redline drawings, O&M manuals).


• Prepare client-ready inspection reports and participating in owner/GC quality meetings, especially on mission critical projects.


• oversight of lockout/tagout, arc flash boundaries, and safe work practices in high-voltage and mission critical environments.


• perform investigations of failures or near misses to identify and implement corrective actions.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS,  AND ABILITIES

• Strong knowledge of electrical standards and regulations.


• Proficiency in inspection tools and testing equipment.


• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.


• Effective communication and interpersonal abilities.


• Detail-oriented with a commitment to quality and safety.


• NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA standards, and (if applicable) IEEE/IEC standards commonly required on industrial sites.


• Strong proficiency in digital QA/QC platforms or software (e.g., Procore, BIM 360, Bluebeam) for reporting, punch lists, and inspections.

 Leadership & Training

• Mentorship: Expand on “develop crew” by including mentoring apprentices and journeymen on quality and safety standards in complex/critical environments.


• Continuous Improvement: Explicitly state participation in lessons learned sessions across projects to feed back into company best practices.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE 

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related field.


• Minimum of 2 years in QA/QC role within the electrical industry.


• Relevant certifications (e.g., ISO 9001, Six Sigma) are a plus.


• MEP

 Preferred Qualifications

• Specialized Certifications: Consider listing credentials that add weight for mission critical/industrial work:




• NICET in Electrical Testing


• NETA certification


• NFPA 70E Training


• OSHA 30


• LEED/AP or commissioning-related certifications (if sustainability is relevant)




• Experience: Increase baseline requirement from just QA/QC exposure to experience on industrial, mission critical, or large-scale commercial electrical projects.

Soft Skills

• Stronger emphasis on:




• Ability to work under pressure and meet strict commissioning timelines.


• Coordination with general contractors, owners, and third-party commissioning agents.


• Flexibility for night/weekend work typical of cutovers or critical system tie-ins.
