Senior Quality Manager | Hyper-Scale Data Center Construction
Location: Dallas Regional Office, with some travel expected
Salary Range: $170,000 – $200,000 + Excellent Benefits Package
Experience Level: 12+ Years
Role Purpose
As the Senior Quality Manager, you will serve as the strategic lead for quality assurance and control across large-scale hyperscale data center campuses. You will be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of quality, from pre-construction design reviews to final Level 5 commissioning (Cx) and handover. Your primary objective is to ensure "Zero-Defect" delivery while maintaining 100% cohesion between field teams, trade partners, and the client’s global standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and implement project-specific Quality Management Plans (QMP) tailored to hyperscale requirements (e.g., Google, Meta, AWS, Microsoft).
- Establish communication protocols and "First-of-Kind" (FO-K) inspection gates to ensure seamless integration between MEP, Civil, and Structural teams.
- Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Corrective/Preventive Action (CAPA) programs to identify and eliminate systemic issues before they impact the critical path.
- Act as the primary point of contact for client quality auditors and third-party commissioning agents, ensuring all turnover documentation and "as-builts" are audit-ready.
- Oversee the use of VDC/BIM and quality management software (Procore, Autodesk Build, Bluebeam) to track real-time quality KPIs and Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs).
Required Qualifications & Skills
- Minimum of 12 years in construction quality management, with at least 5 years specifically within Mission Critical/Data Center environments.
- Extensive knowledge of electrical redundancies (UPS, Switchgear, Generators) and mechanical cooling systems (Chillers, CRAHs, Cooling Towers).
- ASQ Certified Quality Manager (CMQ/OE), CQM-C (USACE/NAVFAC), or Lean Six Sigma Green/Black Belt preferred.
- Working knowledge of the Level 1–5 Commissioning process:
- Factory Witness Testing (FWT)
- Receipt/Pre-Installation
- Component/Static Testing
- Functional Performance Testing (FPT)
- Integrated Systems Testing (IST)
The Ideal Candidate
The successful candidate will have a "builder’s mindset" paired with "auditor’s precision." You are someone who can walk a site and identify a potential cooling line clash or an improperly grounded rack before it’s even installed, and then lead a meeting with senior client leadership to explain the resolution with data-backed confidence.
