What You'll DoAs Giga's onsite
QA/QC Manager, you will own the quality assurance and quality control program for our data center construction projects from foundation to final turnover. You are the last line of defense - and the first line of standards - ensuring that everything we build meets or exceeds design specifications, code requirements, and client expectations. You won't be reviewing quality from a desk. You'll be on the floor, in the ceiling, and in the field, verifying that the work we ship is work we're proud of. You'll develop the quality plan, manage inspection and test plans (ITPs), coordinate third-party inspections, and drive accountability across subcontractors and trade partners. At Giga, quality isn't a checklist - it's a culture, and you'll be the one building it.
Where You'll WorkThis is an on-site position that requires long term travel and/ or short term relocation. This person should be comfortable with 3-6 month periods of being at a location before moving to the next.

- Review and approve subcontractor quality plans, test plans, method statements, and material submittals prior to construction activities.
- Manage the non-conformance report (NCR) process: identify deficiencies, issue NCRs, track corrective actions, and verify resolution before work proceeds.
- Coordinate third-party inspections, special inspections, and testing (concrete, soils, structural steel, electrical, commissioning-related).
- Maintain comprehensive QA/QC documentation including inspection records, test reports, material certifications, and as-built markups.
- Participate in design review and pre-construction meetings to identify constructability issues and quality risk areas before they reach the field.
- Support the commissioning and turnover process by ensuring quality documentation packages are complete and accurate.

Who we hireWe hire people who thrive in chaos and get sharper under pressure. You don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. When there's work to be done, you do it. You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way. We're not looking for perfect; we're looking for people who get things done.
