Description
The Plumbing Quality Control Inspector is the trade-specific inspection, verification, documentation, and field-coaching resource for commercial plumbing work. The Inspector independently verifies that installations comply with contract documents, approved submittals, manufacturer requirements, applicable codes, and B&I quality standards. The role documents deficiencies, verifies corrective-action closure, and supports testing, commissioning, and turnover readiness. Field leadership remains accountable for installation quality and correction of deficient work.
• QC verifies and coaches. The Inspector evaluates readiness and conformance, documents objective findings, and provides technical guidance.
• Operations owns execution. Superintendents and Foremen direct installation activities and are accountable for correcting deficiencies.
• Project Management enables the process by supporting inspection scheduling, access, documentation, and closure of project requirements.
• The Regional QC Manager coordinates regional consistency, workload, reporting, and escalation. The Plumbing Manager maintains direct trade ownership and technical alignment.
• Dedicated or shared project coverage is assigned according to risk, complexity, contractual requirements, and workload.
• Perform first-work, routine, milestone, pre-concealment, and readiness inspections for plumbing systems, fixtures, equipment, and service connections.
• Verify work against current drawings, specifications, approved submittals, RFIs/ASIs, coordinated models, manufacturer instructions, and applicable codes.
• Inspect domestic water, sanitary waste and vent, storm drainage, natural gas, medical gas where applicable, fixtures, equipment connections, supports, sleeves, penetrations, valves, specialties, identification, access, cleanliness, and trade interfaces.
• Apply required inspection checkpoints and hold points before concealment, insulation, testing, startup, or turnover when acceptance criteria are not met.
• Coordinate inspection timing with the Superintendent, Foreman, Project Manager, Plumbing Manager, and Regional QC Manager.
• Complete assigned trade-specific QC checklists and inspection records in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) at the point of work.
• Create deficiencies in ACC with a clear description, exact location, responsible party, due date, supporting photo, and drawing reference when applicable.
• Track open deficiencies, reinspect completed corrections, and close items only after conformance has been verified.
• Maintain pressure-test, disinfection, flushing, cleaning, brazing, equipment readiness, startup, and other required quality records.
• Provide concise status updates on completed inspections, open issues, overdue corrections, recurring failure points, and emerging risks.
• Participate in project kickoff, preconstruction QC alignment, constructability, coordination, and project-specific quality planning as assigned.
• Identify high-risk installations, special inspection needs, and required quality checkpoints before work begins.
• Witness or verify required tests and confirm that test documentation is complete and traceable.
• Coordinate with commissioning and startup personnel to verify readiness for functional testing and system startup.
• Support turnover by confirming required checklists, test reports, deficiency closure, and as-built documentation are complete.
• Coach Foremen on installation standards, checklist use, recurring failure points, and rework prevention.
• Communicate recurring issues and lessons learned so standards, checklists, SOPs, and training can be improved.
• Maintain professional communication with project teams, customers, inspectors, subcontractors, and commissioning partners.
• Escalate unresolved, repeated, or high-risk quality conditions through established QC and operational leadership channels.
• Five or more years of commercial plumbing field experience or an equivalent combination of relevant education, certification, and experience.
• Knowledge of domestic water, sanitary waste and vent, storm drainage, equipment connections, supports, valves, specialties, pressure testing, disinfection, flushing, and system readiness.
• Ability to interpret contract drawings, specifications, approved submittals, shop drawings, coordinated models, RFIs/ASIs, and manufacturer instructions.
• Ability to identify nonconforming work, communicate findings clearly, and verify corrections without directing the installation workforce.
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365, iPad-based field tools, ACC, and digital photo and document management.
• Ability to travel to assigned sites and work in active construction environments.
• Quality control, Foreman, Superintendent, or field leadership experience.
• OSHA 30 certification.
• Relevant plumbing license, medical gas credential, backflow certification, brazing qualification knowledge, or manufacturer training.
• Experience with Bluebeam, Procore, commissioning, startup, or turnover documentation.
• Technical judgment and attention to detail
• Accountability and objective documentation
• Clear communication and field coaching
• Planning, organization, and follow-through
• Collaboration and customer focus
• Problem solving and continuous improvement
• Assigned inspections and checklists are completed accurately and on schedule.
• Deficiencies are documented with enough detail for prompt correction and verified through closure.
• Testing and turnover records are complete, traceable, and stored in the approved project system.
• Recurring issues and trends are communicated to leadership and converted into preventive action, checklist updates, or training.
• Field teams receive timely, practical coaching that supports consistent execution and reduced rework.
