Houston, TX. Remote, USA. Long Term Travel / Short Term RelocationRemote
Posted May 8, 2026
What You'll Do
As Giga's onsite QA/QC Manager, you will own the quality assurance and quality control program for our data center construction projects from foundation to final turnover. You are the last line of defense — and the first line of standards — ensuring that everything we build meets or exceeds design specifications, code requirements, and client expectations. You won't be reviewing quality from a desk. You'll be on the floor, in the ceiling, and in the field, verifying that the work we ship is work we're proud of. You'll develop the quality plan, manage inspection and test plans (ITPs), coordinate third-party inspections, and drive accountability across subcontractors and trade partners. At Giga, quality isn't a checklist — it's a culture, and you'll be the one building it. ### Where You'll Work
This is an on-site position that requires long term travel and/ or short term relocation. This person should be comfortable with 3-6 month periods of being at a location before moving to the next. ### Responsibilities
Develop, implement, and manage the site-specific Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program for data center construction projects. - Create and execute Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) across all trades including civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, life safety, and plumbing. - Conduct ongoing field inspections to verify that construction work complies with drawings, specifications, approved submittals, and applicable codes. - Review and approve subcontractor quality plans, test plans, method statements, and material submittals prior to construction activities. - Manage the non-conformance report (NCR) process: identify deficiencies, issue NCRs, track corrective actions, and verify resolution before work proceeds. - Coordinate third-party inspections, special inspections, and testing (concrete, soils, structural steel, electrical, commissioning-related). - Maintain comprehensive QA/QC documentation including inspection records, test reports, material certifications, and as-built markups. - Participate in design review and pre-construction meetings to identify constructability issues and quality risk areas before they reach the field. - Support the commissioning and turnover process by ensuring quality documentation packages are complete and accurate. - Report QA/QC metrics and program status to the Project Director on a regular cadence. ###
Requirements
5+ years of experience in a QA/QC role on commercial, industrial, or mission-critical construction projects spanning disciplines. - Direct experience developing and executing ITPs and managing the NCR/deficiency tracking process on active construction sites. - Strong working knowledge of construction drawings, specifications, and applicable building codes (IBC, NEC, ASHRAE, and related standards). - Experience coordinating third-party and special inspections in compliance with AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) requirements. - Proficiency in maintaining and organizing quality documentation packages for project turnover and closeout. - Strong attention to detail and the ability to identify and communicate technical deficiencies clearly to subcontractors and project leadership. - Excellent written communication skills for producing NCRs, inspection reports, and quality status summaries. ### Bonus Points
Prior QA/QC experience on data center, hyperscale, or mission-critical facility construction. - Familiarity with commissioning protocols (Cx) and functional performance testing for critical infrastructure systems. - Experience with Procore or equivalent construction management platforms for quality tracking. - ICC, CWI, or other relevant trade-specific inspection certifications. - Background working across multiple simultaneous construction sites or programs. ### Benefits

Who We Hire
We don't use "A-player" loosely. Here's what it actually means at Giga:
Antifragile. You don't just survive chaos, you get better because of it. When things break, change, or move sideways, you don't freeze. You adapt faster than the problem evolves. High Agency. You don't wait to be told what to do. You see the gap, you fill it. If something is blocking progress, you find a way around it, over it, or through it without asking for permission. Executors. Ideas are cheap. We hire people who ship. You're the person who turns a whiteboard sketch into something real while everyone else is still scheduling the next meeting about it. Bias to Action. Perfect is the enemy of done. You'd rather make a decision with 80% of the information and course correct than sit around waiting for 100% that never comes. Speed. We move fast because the opportunity demands it. You're not reckless, but you understand that in this industry, the team that moves fastest wins. And you like winning. Giga Energy complies with all applicable labor laws, including the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and other relevant state and federal regulations. We provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and encourage applicants who require accommodations during the hiring process to contact us.
