About This Role

Join a heavy civil infrastructure team in Raleigh as a Construction Quality Engineer (QA/QC Manager).

You’ll work with the Assistant Quality Manager and project crews to document inspections, manage Non-Conformance Reports, verify materials and as-builts with Survey, and train field staff on project-specific quality procedures.

• • Create, maintain, and track quality checklists, forms, and inspection records; keep tracking tools up to date for project teams.
• • Manage Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs): investigate root cause, coordinate corrective actions with crews/subcontractors, and verify closures.
• • Coordinate with Survey for pre-construction QA checks and as-built QC verification; verify elevations and locations against plans.
• • Train and coach field personnel on project-specific quality standards, inspection procedures, and expectations; support crews during critical operations.

What We're Looking For

• • Valid state driver’s license and reliable transportation to job sites.
• • OSHA 30 required.
• • Ability to read and interpret construction plans, specifications, and technical drawings.
• • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil/Environmental Engineering, Geomatics, Materials Science, or geology OR minimum 4 years’ experience in heavy civil or industrial construction QA/QC.
• • Working knowledge of underground utility and civil standards (AWWA, ASTM, NCDOT specs, ESC/NPDES) and construction inspection/testing procedures.
• • Proven experience writing and closing NCRs, performing root cause analysis, and enforcing inspection/test plans (ITPs).

Qualifications

• • OSHA 30 (required)
• • Paving Inspector (PIC), ACI, NICET, ICC, AWS, or ASNT certifications (preferred)
• • Familiarity with NCDOT standards, AWWA, ASTM, and NPDES/ESC requirements
• • Ability to use construction management software and inspection tracking tools
• • Strong report-writing and documentation skills
• • English (required); additional language skills a plus

What We Offer

• • Competitive pay plus opportunities for overtime and project completion bonuses.
• • Medical, dental, and vision insurance options.
• • 401(k) plan with employer match.
• • Paid time off and paid holidays.
