JOB SUMMARY

The Senior Quality Construction Manager I (Senior QCMI) is a seasoned technical leader and consultant who serves as the owner’s and/or contractor’s representative to ensure that all work is executed in conformance with quality, schedule, and scope expectations. This role merges traditional construction management and owner’s representative responsibilities with strategic QA/QC leadership across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and controls systems within mission-critical environments.

This role converts organizational and client objectives into actionable quality and readiness plans, leading large-scale or multi-site programs and developing tactical solutions to complex issues. The role provides advanced leadership during the L1–L3 phases—design validation, procurement, and construction—ensuring installations meet project and code requirements, are executed to the highest quality standards, and are fully documented for seamless transition into commissioning. Acting as a trusted advisor, the Senior QCM I drives consistent application of DLB’s quality management framework, mitigates risk, and mentors project teams to ensure systems meet or exceed performance and reliability standards.

The Senior QCMI is self-directed on day-to-day work and receives high level instruction on new projects, tasks or assignments. Will execute and lead teams and projects, tasks or assignments of complex scope. May coordinate activities of other personnel.
