You’ll specifically take care of establishing and implementing Quality Control Plans, as well as conducting inspections on-site and in warehouses, but also supporting audits and resolving quality-related issues.

We’ll look to you for:

• Establishing, implementing, validating (for subcontractors), and updating Installation Quality Control Plans and associated QC forms, ensuring compliance with contractual requirements, Alstom processes, and lessons learned from previous projects.
• Conducting site inspections to verify adherence to construction, installation standards, and general conditions.
• Inspecting sites and warehouses to ensure compliance during reception, preparation, and storage phases.
• Documenting inspection results in the project repository.
• Maintaining inspection records by site (section/station/zone), product, team, and work phase.
• Updating quality documentation by site, product, team, and work phase.
• Participating in joint inspections with the client or project team.
• Ensuring proper calibration of critical tools used by teams and during inspections.
• Supporting the SQ/Sourcing team in managing supplier NCRs and quality control of supplied installation materials.
• Assisting in the preparation of 4M files.
• Supporting project audits (internal/external) upon request.
• Preparing inspection reports and documenting results in appropriate tools, in line with project rules.
• Coordinating with the Installation team to prepare subsystem punch lists and remaining works lists, and supporting the PrQSM in criticality analysis.
• Driving continuous improvement and problem-solving activities within subsystem installations to reduce non-quality costs (e.g., 8D, QRQC, lessons learned).
