delivery of connectivity systems.
Documentation & Reporting
• Maintain accurate connectivity quality records, including:
o Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs)
o Test reports and certification results
o Deficiency logs and corrective action tracking
• Utilize project management platforms such as Procore, BIM 360, Bluebeam,
Primavera P6, or MS Project as applicable.
• Provide regular quality status updates to the QA/QC Manager and project leadership.
Project Closeout & Turnover
• Support preparation of connectivity closeout documentation, including test results and
turnover packages.
• Verify connectivity systems meet quality, performance, and documentation requirements
prior to owner turnover.
• Assist with final inspections, acceptance testing, and turnover readiness reviews.
Additional Responsibilities
• Perform other duties as assigned by the QA/QC Manager or Project Leadership.
