The QA/QC Manager for Offshore Substation (OSS) is responsible for the overall quality assurance and quality control of all activities related to the design, procurement, construction, installation, testing, and commissioning of the offshore substation. The role ensures that all processes, systems, and deliverables meet the required quality standards, industry regulations, and Employer Requirement. The QA/QC Manager will implement and oversee the project-specific quality management system (QMS), ensure compliance with quality standards, and lead efforts to identify and mitigate quality risks throughout the project lifecycle.

**DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES**:
**Quality Assurance (QA)**:

- Develop, implement, and improve the project’s QMS in line with Employer Requirement, industry standards (ISO 9001, IEC, DNV, etc.), and Korea regulatory requirements where necessary.
- Develop detailed quality plan, procedures, and work instructions specific to offshore substations, ensuring alignment with project scope and requirements.
- Perform suppliers and subcontractors’ qualification and selection processes based on their ability to meet quality standards. Monitor and assess suppliers and contractors’ quality performance throughout the project execution.
- Conduct internal and external audits of the project’s QMS, ensuring compliance with Employer Requirement, established procedures, standards, and regulations. Manage corrective actions to address any audit findings.
- Ensure all project documentation (e.g., Inspection, Test and Audit Plan, Project Quality Plan, drawings, technical specifications, procedures, and reports) are properly prepared, controlled, stored, and accessible to authorized personnel.
- Organize and deliver training for the project team on quality procedures, requirements, and tools to ensure consistent understanding and adherence to quality standards.
- Identify and manage quality risks associated with the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning phases. Develop risk mitigation strategies and contingency plans in cooperation with Interface and Risk Manager

**Quality Control (QC)**:

- Supervise all quality control activities related to offshore substation BOP and materials, including inspections, testing, factory acceptance tests (FAT), and site acceptance tests (SAT or HAT) for the main electrical equipment (MEQ), structures, and other BOP.
- Conduct regular site inspections to ensure that construction and installation activities comply with quality specifications. Monitor offshore installation activities, including Topside construction, equipment commissioning, and so on.
- Track, report, and manage non-conformities (NCs) for materials, processes, and equipment. Ensure that root causes are identified, corrective actions are implemented, and preventive actions are taken to avoid recurrence.
- Ensure that all testing, including electrical, mechanical, and structural tests, are carried out according to Employer Requirement, approved standards, procedures, and protocols.
- Make sure that the offshore substation meets DNV Project Certification based on DNV-ST-0145 (2021 Edition) primarily.
- Supervise the commissioning process to verify that the offshore substation meets all operational and safety requirements.
- Maintain detailed, accurate records of inspections, testing, and commissioning activities. Ensure all QC-related documents are in compliance with regulatory requirements and Employer’s expectations.
- Ensure the compilation and completion of quality records, inspection reports, and test certificates for final handover to Employer upon project completion.

**Project Integration & Coordination**:

- Work closely with the project engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning teams to ensure quality management is integrated into all phases of the project lifecycle.
- Interface with external stakeholders such as regulatory authorities, certifying bodies, and Employer to ensure the quality system and results meet project standards and expectations.
- Communicate quality-related issues, risks, and actions to Project Manager, Interface and Risk Manager, and other stakeholders in a clear and timely manner.

**Risk and Issue Management**:

- Identify quality-related risks, including those related to offshore conditions, materials handling, and installation processes. Develop strategies to mitigate these risks and prevent issues from impacting project timelines, costs, or safety.
- Lead the resolution of quality-related issues on-site, ensuring effective communication and collaboration across teams. Ensure non-conformity reports (NCRs) are documented and appropriate corrective actions are implemented promptly.

**Comply with HSE requirements**:

- Environmental Aspects & Impacts Assessment.
- OHS Hazardous & Risk Assessment.
- Follow HSE Regulations.

**REQUIREMENTS**:
**Education**
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering,
