Job Title: Civil/Structural QAQC Project Manager

Location: [Project-Based / Regional Office / National Travel]

Exempt Compensation: Competitive Base + Bonus + Benefits + Travel/Per Diem (as applicable)

Position Summary

The Civil/Structural QAQC Project Manager is responsible for managing quality assurance and control efforts related to civil and structural scopes on large-scale, high-performance construction projects. This includes overseeing the execution and verification of excavation, foundations, concrete placement, steel erection, earthwork, site utilities, exterior systems, and other civil/structural elements to ensure compliance with engineering design, specifications, industry standards, and regulatory codes.

This role spans QAQC Levels 1 through 3, with a focus on verifying materials, inspecting installations, coordinating with engineers of record and third-party testing agencies, and preparing systems for milestone inspections and turnover.

Key Responsibilities

Level 1 – Material Receipt & Handling

• Oversee L1 inspections of incoming materials including rebar, structural steel, precast elements, aggregates, concrete mix deliveries, embeds, and waterproofing materials.
• Verify submittal conformance, certification documents (mill tests, concrete mix designs), and onsite material handling per manufacturer and spec requirements.
• Maintain inspection records, photographic logs, and deficiency reports using project QA platforms

Level 2 – Installation Verification

• Conduct field inspections of excavation, backfill, soil compaction, utility trenching, and rebar placement for structural foundations and slabs.
• Validate anchor bolt layouts, embed locations, steel framing connections, CMU alignment, and other structural system installations.
• Monitor concrete placement activities (temperature, slump, air content, vibration, curing) and coordinate field testing with third-party agencies.
• Verify formwork integrity, rebar coverage, clearances, and embed installations before placement.
• Inspect structural steel erection for bolt torqueing, weld quality, alignment, and field modifications.

Level 3 – Pre-Functional / Inspection Readiness

• Prepare civil/structural systems for milestone inspections (e.g., foundation pour approvals, steel inspections, envelope dry-ins).
• Verify as-built compliance for site grades, foundation dimensions, utility routing, and retaining systems prior to final surveys or commissioning interface.
• Confirm turnover readiness for structural systems requiring load testing, envelope water testing, or anchorage for mechanical/electrical components.
• Support interface between structural systems and MEP/architectural QAQC efforts (e.g., plinths, equipment pads, supports, penetrations).

Additional Responsibilities

• Maintain corporate-level QAQC performance metrics, analyzing trends to identify improvement opportunities.
• Provide executive-level reporting on project quality performance, risks, and corrective actions.
• Coordinate with safety, commissioning, and project management teams to align cross-functional goals.

Education &Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering, Construction Management, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 7–10 years of civil/structural construction experience with a minimum of 3 years in QAQC or quality leadership roles.
• Deep understanding of IBC, ACI, AISC, AWS, ASTM, and geotechnical standards.
• Proficient in reviewing construction drawings, details, and specifications for foundations, framing, site utilities, and concrete systems.
• Familiarity with third-party testing coordination and code-compliant inspections.

Technical Skills & Abilities:

• PE license (Civil or Structural), ASQ CQA, AWS CWI, or ICC Structural Inspector certification.
• Experience with mission-critical construction, data centers, large-scale commercial or industrial projects.
• Familiarity with QA documentation software (Procore, BIM 360, CMMS, etc.).
• OSHA 30 and strong safety awareness related to excavation, concrete, and steel operations.
• Civil and structural systems QAQC expertise
• Field inspection leadership and technical documentation
• Testing coordination and milestone preparation
• Root cause analysis and corrective action oversight
• Communication with engineers, contractors, and owners
• Pre-functional readiness for load-bearing or structural acceptance

Physical Requirements:

• Project-based role located on active construction sites.
• Travel required depending on project location and duration.
• Must be comfortable working outdoors and around heavy equipment.
• Extended work hours may be required during critical installation or inspection phases.
