This role verifies that all equipment and cabling are installed correctly, tested, dressed properly, and functioning as designed, while maintaining strict adherence to industry, manufacturer, and internal standards. The position requires a detail-oriented, self-starting professional who can think like an auditor, clearly document findings, and collaborate with project teams to drive continuous improvement in quality and compliance. Responsibilities * Perform daily QA/QC inspections and observations at assigned data center sites, focusing on telecom and structured cabling installations. * Audit telecom equipment, copper and fiber cabling, rack layouts, and cable dressing to verify that installations meet design, quality, and performance requirements. * Use established QA/QC checklists to document findings, including non-conformities, potential risks, and areas for improvement. * Maintain accurate, organized records of all inspection activities, findings, test results, and follow-up actions. * Detect deviations from quality standards and promptly report them to the QA/QC leadership, site supervisors, and other relevant personnel. * Collaborate with management to recommend corrective and preventive actions that enhance quality standards, minimize risks, and improve efficiency. * Assist, when applicable, in training employees on quality standards, best practices, and compliance expectations. * Stay current with industry, manufacturing, and internal standards, as well as applicable local, state, and national codes, to ensure ongoing compliance. * Think critically and analytically during audits to identify risks, non-conformities, and underlying causes of quality issues. * Prepare clear, professional documentation and reports that summarize audit results, issues identified, and recommended actions. * Communicate findings clearly and professionally with on-site personnel, project teams, and leadership. * Demonstrate strong customer service skills by supporting internal and external stakeholders before, during, and after engagements. * Maintain a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to learn and grow in the QA/QC discipline. * Travel to various sites as needed to support quality inspections and audits. * Support installation work on an as-needed basis if quality audit workload temporarily slows, in order to help the broader team.
