Monitor mechanical installation of MMS, modules, and trackers for torque settings, alignment, and corrosion protection. Oversee electrical installation for cabling, terminations, earthing, SCB/SMB installation, inverter & transformer integration. Witness critical tests (megger, continuity, earthing resistance, HV tests). 4. Inspection & Testing Conduct inspections as per ITPs – Hold Points / Witness Points. Manage and record all site tests: soil resistivity, concrete cube testing, torque verification, insulation resistance, etc. Ensure all test equipment is calibrated and records are available. 5. Non-Conformance & Corrective Actions Issue NCRs for deviations from specifications. Track and verify corrective & preventive actions (CAPA) closure. Root cause analysis for repetitive quality issues. 6. Handover & Final Documentation Compile As-Built Quality Dossiers for each discipline. Ensure Punch List items are tracked and closed before PAC (Provisional Acceptance Certificate). Deliver final quality reports for client acceptance. 7. Coordination & Reporting Conduct daily / weekly quality coordination meetings with EPC and subcontractors. Prepare Weekly Quality Reports for management. Liaise with statutory bodies (where required) for compliance inspections
Technical Innovation & Developing Solutions	Adopt digital quality dashboards, non-conformance tracking systems, and real-time quality data analytics...
Business Planning & Budget Forecasting	Budget allocation for quality engineers, inspectors, and specialists at project sites Provision for quality tools (measuring instruments, test kits), digital platforms (QMS software, NCR tracking), third-party inspections, lab testing, for his site
