As Director of Quality Control, you will own the quality function across Crusoe's data center construction portfolio. You will set the standard — building the systems, frameworks, and team that ensure every site delivers mission-critical infrastructure that performs on day one and scales reliably for the long term. This role sets QA/QC strategy across the program, leads a distributed team of QC Managers and Senior QC Managers, and operates as the senior quality voice in executive forums alongside Construction, Commissioning, Design, and Operations leadership.
This is a portfolio-level leadership role with deep technical roots in construction, MEP systems, and commissioning — where quality strategy directly drives uptime, capital efficiency, and Crusoe's ability to deliver at scale.
Define and own the enterprise QA/QC strategy across all DIG construction projects, from greenfield through turnover
Build, lead, and develop a multi-site team of QC Managers and Senior QC Managers; set hiring plans, performance standards, and career pathing
Establish the program-level Quality Management System (QMS) — standards, playbooks, ITP libraries, inspection frameworks, and reporting cadences that scale across sites
Drive consistency and continuous improvement across the portfolio by codifying lessons learned, defect trends, and systemic root causes into repeatable standards
Partner with executive leadership in Construction, Commissioning, Design, Procurement, and Operations to align quality strategy with delivery, schedule, and reliability outcomes
Own the quality relationship with GCs, major subcontractors, and OEM partners at the program level — including pre-qualification standards, contractual quality requirements, and escalation pathways
Set the standard for how Crusoe coordinates with AHJs, third-party inspectors, and certifying bodies across all jurisdictions
Establish the metrics, dashboards, and reporting that give executive leadership real-time visibility into quality performance, risk, and trend data across the portfolio
Define commissioning readiness standards and ensure construction-to-commissioning handoff integrity across every project
Own program-wide turnover documentation standards (as-builts, redlines, test reports, O&M manuals) and audit readiness posture
Lead post-incident and post-project quality reviews; translate findings into program-level corrective action
Represent the quality function in executive reviews, board-level updates, and customer/partner audits as needed
Influence design and constructability decisions upstream by feeding field-driven quality intelligence back into Design and Preconstruction
A scalable, repeatable QA/QC program that delivers consistent first-pass commissioning success across every site
A high-performing, well-developed QC team that grows with the portfolio
Measurable year-over-year reduction in rework, repeat defects, and systemic quality issues
Quality performance data is trusted, visible, and drives executive decision-making
Crusoe's quality posture is a competitive advantage with GCs, subcontractors, customers, and AHJs
Construction, Commissioning, and Design operate from a shared, quality-aligned playbook
15+ years in construction QA/QC, with at least 5 years leading quality at a program, portfolio, or multi-site level
Demonstrated experience building and leading distributed QC teams across multiple active projects
Deep expertise in MEP systems for mission-critical environments — electrical distribution, mechanical/cooling, controls
Track record establishing enterprise QMS frameworks, standards, and metrics from the ground up or at significant scale
Proven executive presence — able to influence senior construction, commissioning, design, and operations leaders
Experience driving commissioning integration and construction-to-Cx handoff at the program level
Strong command of quality data — trend analysis, defect taxonomy, root cause methodology, continuous improvement frameworks
Comfortable owning the quality relationship with major GCs and subcontractors at the contractual and executive level
Systems thinker — sees how decisions in one phase ripple through commissioning, turnover, and operations
Hyperscale or large-scale data center program experience (AWS, Meta, Google, Microsoft, or peer)
Background in other complex mission-critical verticals (Healthcare, Semiconductor, Refinery, Central Plants)
Experience standing up a quality function or scaling one through rapid growth
Familiarity with Procore, BIM360, and enterprise construction/quality data platforms
Relevant certifications (CQM, CQI, PMP, Lean Six Sigma, or similar)
Experience interfacing with hyperscale customers or executive-level audits
Based on-site in Dallas, TX, with regular travel to Crusoe's active construction sites — including Amarillo and other DIG locations as the portfolio grows
Ability to hold senior contractor and internal leaders accountable to quality standards, including formal escalation
Commitment to building a culture of quality, safety, and execution excellence across every level of the program
