Serve as an independent quality representative for connectivity installation projects, delivering end-to-end quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) for all connectivity infrastructure pathways, cabling, and network systems.

• Specification compliance & documentation control
  • Request, review, and work to the latest applicable project specifications; confirm which specification packages apply per project.
  • Maintain a record of all specifications referenced and followed; make it available on request.
  • Perform monthly specification audits comparing current specs (including quality-related change orders) against what the contractor holds; escalate misalignment or blockers to the representative.

  • Escalate specification conflicts or ambiguities promptly to the CE.
• On-site inspection & issue management
  • Conduct continuous, independent visual inspections and observations of ongoing connectivity work.
  • Log every deficiency as an Issue in the quality management platform (Autodesk Construction Cloud unless otherwise directed) and track to verified resolution.
  • Prevent contractors from building upon or concealing non-conforming work.
  • Spot-check materials and product data against approved submittals; examine and sign off work areas for readiness against approved shop drawings.
  • Verify contractor test equipment compliance and witness testing spot checks as requested.
• Inspection program & closeout
  • Align with the CE and GC/TC on the full list and schedule of required QAQC inspections across the project lifecycle.
  • Execute inspections using the QAQC platform, complete all checklist review questions, and obtain required signatures.
  • Review and formally verify field closeout documentation before handover: red-lined as-builts, butterfly diagrams, splice path records, QA/QC checklists and issues, and cable test reports.
• Network quality control
  • Verify pre-audit submittals (quality inspection acceptance, crew and communication plan, communication protocol, owner-directed procedures) as a mandatory quality gate.
  • Provide oversight and validation of Division 27 network audits: Device Audit, Circuit Audit, and Network Quality Audit (BERT / synthetic traffic testing and continuous circuit audits).
  • Confirm certified, calibrated, approved test equipment (OTDR, OLTS, fiber scope, etc.) and validate fiber and copper test results against specified loss values.
  • Report periodically on contractor adherence to auditing best practices.
• Meetings, milestones & reporting
  • Coordinate, schedule, and present at weekly project-level QAQC meetings and monthly program-level QAQC meetings.
  • Manage key milestones: hold pre-meetings and at least one site walk with the CE, Network Engineer, and contractor project/quality leads to establish readiness; attend later inspections for approval.
  • Issue a weekly QA/QC status report each Friday with meeting minutes, lessons-learned matrix, QAQC analytics dashboards, a prioritized and aging-coded issues log, past-due items, and any milestones at risk (e.g., cabling start, circuits delivered, CorpNet/Security/FacNet ready and live, network rack install, NSC/NC, NFC/FC).
  • Deliver the final Project QA/QC Closeout Report as the definitive record of activities, issues resolved, and inspection outcomes.
