Full Job Description
Role Summary

Reports to: Quality Control Director

Experience: 10+ years  1 per building

Position Overview

The Site Quality Manager is the owner-side leader accountable for construction quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) on a Fleet data center campus. Reporting to the Quality Control Director - not to site construction leadership - this role provides independent verification that the work is built right the first time, in conformance with Fleet's design documents, specifications, and quality standards. The independent reporting line is deliberate: it insulates quality decisions from schedule and cost pressure so issues are called honestly.

The Site Quality Manager is dedicated to quality and is a peer to the site Commissioning (Cx) Manager, who sits in a separate matrix pillar. The two partner closely - QA/QC verifies installation conformance and turnover readiness; commissioning verifies functional performance - but report through different lines to preserve independent verification of the asset.

Key Responsibilities

Quality Program Execution
  • Site Quality Plan: Implement and maintain the campus quality plan, inspection and test plans (ITPs), and quality standards set by the Quality Control Director, tailored to the campus scopes (CSA, MEP, and power).
  • Inspection & Verification: Own the owner-side inspection program - witness points, hold points, and material/installation verification - confirming work conforms to Fleet design documents, specifications, and applicable codes before it is covered or advanced.
  • Contractor QA/QC Oversight: Audit and hold the General Contractor's and trade partners' quality programs accountable, verifying their inspections, tests, and documentation are complete and credible rather than duplicating them.
  • Nonconformance Management: Identify, document, and track nonconformance reports (NCRs) and deficiencies to closure; verify root-cause corrective actions rather than accepting rework alone.

Documentation, Turnover & Standards
  • Quality Records: Own the campus quality record - inspection records, test results, certifications, mill/material certs, and as-installed documentation - as the evidence base for turnover.
  • Turnover Readiness: Verify QA/QC completion and punch-list closure for each scope, and partner with the Site Commissioning Manager so installation conformance is confirmed ahead of functional commissioning and asset turnover.
  • Standards Feedback: Feed recurring defects, lessons learned, and constructability/quality trends back to the Quality Control Director to improve Fleet's standards and prevent repeat issues across campuses.

Field Leadership & Partnership
  • Independent Voice: Provide an objective, independent quality assessment to the Quality Control Director and site leadership, escalating quality risks without regard to schedule pressure.
  • Partnership on Site: Work collaboratively with the site construction team, trade partners, and the Commissioning Manager to build quality into the work rather than police it after the fact.
  • Mentorship: Coach field staff and trade partners on Fleet quality expectations, inspection discipline, and documentation standards.

Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related technical field, OR equivalent practical construction QA/QC experience.
  • 10+ years of construction quality (QA/QC) experience on large-scale, fast-tracked, mission-critical, or heavy industrial projects, including significant site-based quality leadership. Owner/operator or developer experience preferred; a strong general contractor or trade-partner quality background at this scale is also considered.
  • Working knowledge of QA/QC across CSA and MEP scopes, inspection and test plans, nonconformance/corrective-action processes, and turnover documentation.
  • Familiarity with applicable codes and standards and with commissioning interfaces (L1-L5).
  • Proficiency with Procore (or equivalent), quality/inspection tools, and Microsoft Office Suite.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience on data center or mission-critical facilities.
  • Relevant quality credentials (e.g., CQM, CWI, or equivalent) are a plus.
  • Detail-oriented, objective, and comfortable holding the line on quality in a fast-paced environment.

Fleet is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with satellite offices in Seattle, WA and Arlington, VA. These positions are located in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center north of Sparks, NV and require the candidate to be on-site (senior field roles on-site five days per week), located within a commutable distance to the project site.

Employment & Benefits

Fleet Data Centers employees enjoy comprehensive benefits, including 100% employer-covered medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401K program, standard paid holidays, and unlimited PTO. As these are on-site positions, there is limited travel associated with the roles.
