Role Overview
Provide functional QA leadership for the electrical scope across multiple data centre projects. This is not a single-site delivery role; it is a governance and assurance position focused on driving consistent standards, verifying implementation through audits, and ensuring actions are closed effectively. The role partners with site teams, package leads, subcontractors and commissioning stakeholders to reduce rework, protect safety and quality, and deliver audit-ready evidence for handover.
Scope
Applies to all electrical systems, inspections and evidence across the portfolio
Set and maintain QA governance: audit programme, standards, templates, acceptance criteria and evidence rules
Assurance focus: verify site teams are executing QA/QC correctly; intervene early where drift or repeat issues appear
Closeout focus: ensure audit findings and NCRs are converted into actions, owners, dates, and verified closeout
Key Electrical Experience
Containment/cable management, terminations, torque records, labelling/identification and segregation compliance
Earthing/bonding continuity, insulation resistance testing, functional checks and test pack completeness
Switchgear/UPS/generator interfaces: QA readiness, vendor documentation, FAT/SAT evidence control
LOTO / energisation governance interface (quality evidence, safe records, and traceable approvals).
Key Accountabilities
Own the portfolio audit plan for the discipline: schedule, risk-based targeting, and minimum cadence per project
Perform regular site audits and surveillance (planned and unannounced where appropriate)
Issue concise audit reports.
Maintain an action tracker: assign owners, due dates, and verify closeout with objective evidence.
Coach site QA/QC and package teams on standards, evidence expectations, and first-time-right behaviours.
Identify repeat defects and systemic failures; drive root cause and preventive actions across projects (not just fixes).
Escalate high-risk non-conformities early; recommend stop-work triggers for critical quality/safety breaches per governance protocol.
Ensure consistent ITP/checklist use and that hold/witness points are respected and recorded.
Verify test packs and handover packs meet contract requirements and are audit-ready in ACC/BIM 360.
Track leading indicators (audit scores, repeat findings, NCR cycle time, first-pass yield) and report trends to leadership.
Interface with Commissioning/Client QA where required to align expectations on evidence and readiness gates.
Audit actions closed on time with verified evidence
Reduction in repeat audit findings and recurring NCR themes across the portfolio.
Improved first-pass inspection/test acceptance rate; measurable reduction in rework.
NCR cycle time reduced (raise → contain → root cause → corrective action → verified close).
Handover packs accepted with minimal churn; evidence completeness and traceability maintained in ACC/BIM 360.
Core Responsibilities
Run weekly/fortnightly quality calls with each site: audit status, action closure, NCRs, constraints, and upcoming hold points
Review QA/QC audit evidence submitted by site teams; challenge weak closeouts and require objective verification
Spot-check field installation quality against drawings/specs and workmanship standards; document findings and corrective actions
Review and sample test records/calibration certificates; verify traceability and compliance
Support sites with difficult closeouts (e.g., access restrictions, design clarifications, vendor gaps) and unblock escalations
Standardise ‘what good looks like’ across projects: checklists, photo standards, test pack structure, naming conventions, and gate criteria
Facilitate lessons-learned reviews and publish bulletins to prevent recurrence across the portfolio
Required Skills & Experience
Strong electrical technical background with mission critical/data centre experience highly desirable
Audit capability: can inspect, sample, document, and defend findings with clear standards and evidence
Governance mindset: standardisation, trend analysis, and prevention of recurrence across multiple sites.
Strong communication: can challenge constructively, align stakeholders, and drive accountability to closure.
Comfortable with digital evidence workflows (ACC/BIM 360) and disciplined action tracking.
Degree/trade background in Electrical Engineering / Building Services (or equivalent).
5+ years in data centres/mission critical delivery or QA/QC, with multi-site exposure preferred.
Demonstrated experience running audits, closing actions, and driving systemic corrective/preventive actions.
Working knowledge of relevant standards and statutory requirements; understanding of commissioning readiness gates.
