QA/QC Manager

• Quality Management System
• Maintain and implement the PNGCR Quality Management System (QMS) across all active
projects.
• Ensure all project-specific quality plans, ITPs and inspection procedures are in place before
works commence on each project.
• Review and update the company's standard ITP templates, material specification standards
and quality procedures as required.
• Maintain the company Lessons Learnt Register — capture quality-related learnings from
each project and recommend improvements to company standards.
• Support the GM Operations in responding to any client or superintendent quality audits or
reviews.
• Inspection & Test Plans
• Prepare, maintain and update project-specific Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) for all active
projects in coordination with the relevant PM.
• Ensure ITPs are current, accessible on site and being completed by Site Managers at the
correct hold and witness points.
• Review completed ITP records and identify any gaps or non-compliances — report to the PM
and Construction Manager immediately.
• Attend site to witness hold-point and mandatory inspection items — coordinate with the
Construction Manager on timing.
• Obtain and file engineer and superintendent sign-offs on ITP hold points before works
proceed.
• Non-Conformance Management
• Identify, document and issue Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) for all quality deficiencies
identified on site or in supplied materials.
• Maintain the NCR register for each project — track open NCRs, corrective actions,
responsible parties and close-out dates.
• Follow up with the relevant PM, Construction Manager and Site Manager to ensure NCRs are
closed within agreed timeframes.
• Report on open NCR status at the weekly project coordination meeting and monthly delivery
team meeting.
• Material Specification Compliance
• Support the Contracts Administrator in reviewing material specifications before
procurement orders are placed — confirm materials align with the approved PNGCR
material specification standards and the approved IFC drawings.
• Inspect materials on delivery to site — confirm compliance with specification before
materials are accepted and incorporated into the works.
• Issue an NCR immediately for any non-compliant material delivered to site and coordinate
with the PM and Procurement Manager on return or substitution.
• Pre-Commencement Quality Documentation
• Ensure all required quality documentation is in place before works commence on each
project — WHS plan, ITPs, material specifications, subcontractor compliance.
• Complete the quality section of the pre-commencement tracker for each project and
confirm sign-off before mobilisation.
• Maintain the subcontractor quality and compliance register — confirm subcontractors have
the required licences, registrations and quality procedures in place before engagement.
• Submit a monthly HSE and quality report to the COO and GM by the 28th of each month —
covering NCR status, ITP completion, inspection outcomes, material compliance and any
quality risks.
• Provide a quality update at the weekly project coordination meeting.
• Escalate any quality issue that may affect the superintendent's acceptance of works, trigger
a formal dispute or require client notification to the PM, COO and GM immediately.
