Construction Quality Control Manager (CQCM) Job Description and Duties
The CQCM is responsible for managing and performing the daily QC responsibilities of specific projects to ensure the project is constructed in accordance with the established contract documents. The CQCM role includes direct oversight and review of the entire documentation and physical inspection phase of the workflow process and working with other in-house personnel (e.g.: Project Managers, Superintendents, etc.) and external personnel to produce and document a quality product.
As a QC Manager, you’ll maintain the project submittal log and quality control reports, ensuring shop drawings and submittals conform to project specifications. You will chair weekly QC meetings with the superintendent, document minutes, and provide daily QC reports that track construction standards and address non-conformance. Additionally, you’ll verify materials meet approved submittals, are properly handled, and suitable for installation. Regular preparatory and follow-up meetings will establish quality standards for each project phase.
You’ll conduct pre-construction meetings with subcontractors and the superintendent before new phases begin and coordinate testing and commissioning of building systems. Maintaining daily “as-built” drawings and assembling closeout documents, such as O&M manuals and warranties, will be part of your duties. You’ll also have the authority to stop work to resolve safety, quality, or progress issues.
