Construction Manager - Quality Control | Connectivity

The Construction Manager - Quality Control | Connectivity is responsible for executing and

overseeing quality assurance and quality control activities for connectivity, structured cabling,

fiber optic, and low-voltage systems on a hyperscale data center construction project. This role

ensures all connectivity infrastructure is installed in accordance with contract documents,

project specifications, industry standards, and hyperscale owner requirements, with a strong

focus on system reliability, performance, and commissioning readiness.

The Construction Manager - Quality Control | Connectivity works closely with the QA/QC

Manager, Superintendents, MEP teams, commissioning agents, IT stakeholders,

subcontractors, and vendors to drive first-time quality execution and support a zero-defect

turnover of connectivity systems.

• Collaborate with Safety, Commissioning, and VDC/BIM teams to support coordinated

delivery of connectivity systems.

Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain accurate connectivity quality records, including:

o Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs)

o Test reports and certification results

o 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.

Project Closeout & Turnover

• 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.

Additional Responsibilities

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

Core Competencies & Behavioral Expectations

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