QAQC Engineer (Solar Foundations & Piling Specialist)

The Role: QA/QC Engineer (Foundations)

We are seeking an experienced QA/QC Civil Engineer to be the definitive quality authority for all civil and geotechnical works on our utility-scale solar projects. This role requires deep, hands-on experience in verifying the critical foundational elements—the core of the Module Mounting Structure (MMS) installation.

The successful candidate will be responsible for preparing, implementing, and monitoring the Inspection & Test Plans (ITP) for the entire piling and foundation scope.

Key Responsibilities

• Piling & Foundation Quality: Serve as the technical expert for QA/QC processes covering various solar foundation types, including:
• Direct Ramming/Driven Piles: Ensuring precise location, verticality, embedment depth, and load-bearing capacity compliance.
• Micro Piling/Helical Piles: Overseeing installation, torque monitoring, and quality control for smaller or specialized foundations.
• Cast-in-situ Piling: Managing quality checks for bore holes, rebar cages, concrete pouring, and curing processes where applicable.
• Documentation & Compliance: Develop and implement Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), Method Statements, and quality checklists specific to the piling and foundation works. Maintain comprehensive QA/QC documentation, including test results, daily inspection reports, and material certifications.
• Non-Conformance Management: Identify and document Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), track their closure, and perform root cause analysis (RCA) to prevent recurrence of quality issues.
• Materials Inspection: Conduct rigorous inspection and approval of incoming materials used in foundations (steel piles, rebar, concrete, etc.) to ensure compliance with project specifications and international standards.
• Coordination: Coordinate with third-party testing agencies, the client's quality team, and the site construction team to schedule inspections and resolve technical discrepancies promptly.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field.
• Experience: Minimum of 3 to 4 years of dedicated QA/QC experience on utility-scale construction projects, with a mandatory focus on solar PV foundational works.
• Specialized Expertise: Demonstrated, hands-on experience with quality control procedures for direct ramming/driven piling and micro piling/helical piling in solar farm environments.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in reading engineering drawings (civil, structural, and geotechnical reports), specifications, and ITPs. Familiarity with relevant quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001).
• Skills: Strong analytical, communication, and reporting skills. Must be site-based and able to work in remote locations.
