Project Overview:

The project is a 1.3 GW simple-cycle power generation facility located in Millersport, Ohio, being constructed adjacent to a hyperscale data center campus. The facility includes multiple power generation technologies consisting of Solar Titan 130 gas turbines, Siemens SGT800 gas turbines, reciprocating engines, battery energy storage systems (BESS), substations, and associated balance of plant infrastructure. The scope includes major civil, mechanical, electrical, structural, underground utility, control systems, and commissioning works required to support phased energization and turnover of the facility. Construction will be executed through a combination of direct hire and subcontracted labor supported by modularization, pre-assembly, offsite warehousing, and advanced work packaging methodologies.

Job Summary:

Reporting to the Project Quality Manager under the Quality Specialist job architecture, the Senior Quality Engineer (Civil) provides quality oversight and assurance for the Fairfield Energy Center, with primary emphasis on the civil and structural scope, and maintains and verifies implementation of the Project QMS and the project’s quality commitments. Based at the Millersport, Ohio job site on a single-status basis, the engineer delivers day-to-day oversight and support to Field Engineering, Supply Chain, and Resident Engineering, and leads audits, causal analyses, and corrective-action assignments using independent judgment. Some travel may be required.

Work requires the physical ability to conduct field inspections — extensive walking around a construction site in the heat, cold, rain, snow, and variable weather typical of central Ohio; climbing ladders and scaffolding; and working on elevated platforms, uneven surfaces, and in confined spaces. Some lifting may be required. Must be able to enter and egress the site and use standard-issued PPE (e.g., hard hat, safety glasses, high-visibility vest, harness). #LI-VB1

Major Responsibilities:

Quality Management System & Quality Oversight

Support and verify implementation of the Project Quality Plan (PQP) and Project QMS across all project phases, and monitor and report on the status and overall effectiveness of implementation against the project’s quality commitments and objectives.

Verify materials, workmanship, and specification/code requirements with emphasis on civil/structural scopes — earthworks and site grading, aggregate pier ground improvement, stormwater and erosion control, access roads, deep and shallow foundations, cast-in-place concrete and reinforcing steel, underground utilities, and structural steel — and review schedules for timely PQP implementation.

Identify and record quality concerns; initiate documented corrective actions and manage them to closure in the Closed Loop Corrective Action (CLCA) system (DevonWay); lead Root Cause and causal analysis to prevent recurrence; and develop quality metrics, verify Best Practices and Lessons Learned, and lead Project QMS orientation and training for project personnel.

Audits, Surveillance & Reporting

Support the Project Quality Audit & Surveillance Schedule and independently plan, perform, and document internal and external audits and surveillances of Bechtel and of subcontractors and suppliers, managing the closure of findings with minimal supervision.

Represent the project during quality assurance audits conducted by clients, management, or regulatory agencies; maintain client liaison for quality-related activities; and report progress to the Project Quality Manager, including inputs to the weekly and monthly project progress reports.

Education and Experience Requirements:

Requires bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) in Civil Engineering or a related engineering or scientific discipline — or specialized courses in engineering and quality — and 8-10 years of relevant experience or 12-14 years of relevant work experience​ in engineering, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning & startup.

Required Knowledge and Skills:

Civil/structural background with demonstrated quality experience across earthworks and site development, aggregate pier ground improvement, stormwater and erosion control, access roads, deep and shallow foundations, cast-in-place concrete and reinforcing steel, underground utilities, and structural steel on heavy industrial or power projects.

Construction and inspection experience preferred; power generation (combined cycle gas turbine / gas-fired) or similar heavy industrial project experience highly preferred.

ISO 9001:2015 Certified Lead Auditor (IRCA accredited training course) — required — with advanced quality assurance auditor experience and familiarity with ISO 9001 criteria.

Technical knowledge of engineering, procurement, construction, inspection, testing, and operations practices sufficient to comprehend specified and regulatory requirements, including corrective actions for nonconforming conditions; ability to read and interpret drawings and specifications and review documents; and proficiency in oral and written communication and on-the-job training.

Proficiency with Microsoft software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and quality systems (e.g., DevonWay); Quality certification such as Six Sigma (Green/Black Belt), Lean, or CQM an advantage; and demonstrated experience with design controls and verification, process controls, supply chain, construction, start-up, and risk management, with strong analytic skills to set quality targets and drive continuous improvement.
