QA/QC Inspector IIThe QA/QC Inspector II plans and performs the inspection of an assigned project, system, or shop scope and owns the resulting record set. The position represents ACCO for pipe and equipment installation, welding and brazing inspection, and oversight of subcontractor installation and quality. The position participates in the general contractor's project quality program, documents installation activities, and maintains the objective evidence that supports acceptance, testing, and turnover of the assigned scope. QA/QC Inspector II is the working inspection level, above Inspector I and below Inspector III. Most ACCO projects carry one inspector, and this position is built to be that inspector: it decides what needs inspecting within its assigned scope, sequences it against the construction schedule, and is accountable for the completeness of the record without anyone else on site. Where an Inspector I is also assigned, this position gives that person daily technical direction; where an Inspector III is assigned, it works to the inspection plan that position sets. QA/QC supports fabrication, installation and project management. Those groups are this position's customers inside ACCO, and what they build is what reaches the contractual customer. The position works as part of the project team available, responsive, and practical about how the work gets built not as an outside check on it. Findings are raised to be resolved. Getting to the work early, before it is covered, is part of the job. Field and shop personnel take day-to-day direction from local project leadership (Project Management, Foreperson, General Foreperson, or Superintendent) on a dotted-line basis: where to be, when, and how the day is coordinated, with site adherence to appropriate conduct and safety in mind. Inspection decisions, acceptance and rejection, and the quality record run through the QA/QC line to the assigned QA/QC Inspector III, then the QA/QC Area Supervisor and the QA/QC Regional Manager. Where the two pull against each other the QA/QC line governs the quality decision, and the conflict is raised the same day rather than settled on site.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Inspection planning and execution
