• Support development and execution of the project‑specific Quality Management Plan for connectivity systems.

• Review connectivity drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, and method statements for compliance.

• Participate in constructability reviews, coordination meetings, and pre‑installation planning.

• Ensure quality requirements align with owner standards, IT requirements, and commissioning criteria.

• Perform and document inspections for connectivity systems, including but not limited to:

• Structured cabling (copper and fiber)

• Backbone and horizontal cabling systems

• Pathways, raceways, trays, and supports

• Telecommunications rooms, racks, cabinets, and enclosures

• Grounding, bonding, labeling, and separation requirements

• Verify installations comply with approved submittals, drawings, manufacturer requirements, and industry standards (TIA/EIA, BICSI).

• Monitor installation methods and workmanship to prevent defects, rework, and performance issues.

• Witness and document testing activities, including fiber testing, copper certification, and performance validation.

• Coordinate with commissioning and IT teams to support system readiness and integrated testing.

• Ensure deficiencies are identified early and resolved prior to commissioning and turnover milestones.

• Identify, document, and track connectivity‑related nonconformances (NCRs) through closure.

• Coordinate corrective actions with subcontractors and vendors and verify satisfactory resolution.

• Analyze defect trends and recommend corrective or preventive measures.

• Work closely with connectivity subcontractors and vendors to communicate quality expectations and resolve field issues.

• Coordinate with Electrical, Mechanical, Fire Protection, and Architectural teams to ensure proper system interfaces.

• Collaborate with Safety, Commissioning, and VDC/BIM teams to support coordinated delivery of connectivity systems.

• Maintain accurate connectivity quality records, including:

• Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs)

• Test reports and certification results

• Deficiency logs and corrective action tracking

• Utilize project management platforms such as Procore, BIM 360, Bluebeam, Primavera P6, or MS Project as applicable.

• Provide regular quality status updates to the QA/QC Manager and project leadership.

• Support preparation of connectivity closeout documentation, including test results and turnover packages.

• Verify connectivity systems meet quality, performance, and documentation requirements prior to owner turnover.

• Assist with final inspections, acceptance testing, and turnover readiness reviews.

• Perform other duties as assigned by the QA/QC Manager or Project Leadership.

• Quality Mindset:
  Strong commitment to connectivity system quality, performance, and reliability.
