• Performing site inspections and quality audits, managing non‑conformances (NCRs) and following up on corrective and preventive actions.
• Ensuring completeness and accuracy of inspection records, test reports and as‑built documentation prior to handover.
• Collaborating closely with construction, EHS, engineering, validation and user teams, and providing regular quality status updates and risk highlights to project leadership.
