Overview

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack - from electrons to tokens - to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power and infrastructure are the bottlenecks.

As a Staff Quality Control (QC) Engineer, you will play a critical technical role in ensuring the integrity, performance, and reliability of Crusoe's mission-critical data center infrastructure. You will support quality across construction execution, system installation, inspection, commissioning readiness, and final turnover.

This is a highly field-driven role at the intersection of construction, MEP systems, engineering, and commissioning, where quality directly impacts uptime, performance, and long-term reliability.

Support development and implementation of the Site-Level Quality Management Plan
Develop, maintain, and execute Inspection Test Plans, checklists, inspection workflows, and quality documentation for assigned scopes
Perform field inspections across civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, controls, and commissioning-related scopes, with strong emphasis on MEP system quality
Validate installation against drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, approved materials, code requirements, and commissioning expectations
Partner with construction managers, field engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, commissioning teams, and third-party inspectors to identify and resolve quality issues
Support coordination with AHJs and third-party special inspectors on code compliance, inspection sign-offs, and documentation requirements
Track and manage deficiencies, punch list items, inspection findings, and non-conformance reports through closure
Support pre-functional and functional readiness activities in coordination with commissioning teams

Assist in root cause analysis for defects, rework, failed inspections, and recurring quality issues
Use quality data, field observations, and defect trends to identify improvement opportunities
Help enforce contractual quality requirements across GCs and subcontractors
Maintain accurate inspection records, quality logs, reports, and documentation in construction management systems
Escalate quality risks early to avoid downstream impact to schedule, commissioning, turnover, or operations

Ability to communicate clearly with construction teams, subcontractors, inspectors, commissioning teams, and internal stakeholders
