Job Description Atlas delivers Contractor Quality Control management on complex federal construction projects — ground-up, multistory buildings that can include structural steel and mass timber, high-performance envelopes, advanced mechanical / electrical / plumbing systems, and specialized research or laboratory facilities, often pursuing LEED and the Federal Guiding Principles. The CQC Manager leads the federal three-phase quality-control program end to end — preparatory, initial, and follow-up control, submittal and materials management, testing and special-inspection coordination, and commissioning support — while serving as the on-site Site Safety and Health Officer. Success is a fully compliant, well-documented quality program that earns Government acceptance the first time and delivers systems that perform on turnover. Core Responsibilities Establish, implement, and manage the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) program per the federal contract quality requirements (UFGS three-phase control / FAR 52.246-12); maintain a physical presence at the work site at all times. Lead the three phases of control (preparatory, initial, follow-up) for each Definable Feature of Work; conduct weekly QC meetings and the coordination and mutual-understanding meeting. Review and approve submittals; manage the submittal register and source / factory QC, including Government-approval ('G') items. Ensure inspection and testing are performed; coordinate the accredited testing laboratory, independent testing / certification agencies, and the Special Inspector / Special Inspector of Record. Manage hold and witness points and 7- and 14-day notifications to the Government QAR; issue Certificates of Readiness. Maintain daily CQC reports, the deficiency / rework (NCR) list, root-cause and corrective actions, training and certification logs, and as-built documentation. Serve as the Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) under EM 385-1-1; support LEED / sustainability and indoor-air-quality requirements. Coordinate whole-building and building-enclosure commissioning with the Government-led Commissioning Provider; support functional performance testing and closeout. You’ll thrive here if you have Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent additional experience in lieu of a degree. Minimum 10 years combined experience as Project Superintendent, QC Manager, Project Manager, Project Engineer, or Construction Manager on similar size and type construction contracts that included the major trades of the assigned project. Minimum 2 years' experience as a Contractor QC Manager. Additional directly relevant years accepted in lieu of a degree; advanced credentials (PE / PMP) a plus. Federal three-phase quality-control experience (USACE / NAVFAC / UFGS) strongly preferred. Strongly preferred: experience as QC Manager on a new, ground-up, multistory laboratory, research, or similarly complex technical building exceeding 15,000 SF, substantially completed within the last 8 years (federal preferred), plus hands-on MEP, laboratory-airflow, and building-control-systems experience. Familiarity with EM 385-1-1 and ability to serve as SSHO — hazard identification, safety compliance, and sustainability. Ability to obtain and maintain federal facility site access; must read, write…
