Seeking Construction Site Quality Specialists with OSHA 30 certifications. Prior experience with heavy civil, electrical or quality assurance / quality control preferred. Previous solar experience is also a plus. Ability to read and understand construction drawings. There will be significant walking associated with these positions. Prefer local (Virginia /NC) candidates. Daily, the individuals would be responsible opening the gates to allow the contractor access, participation in the daily plan of day (POD) meeting, observation and reporting of daily contractor activities, potentially manipulating rows of modules to support vegetation management activities as well as restoring them the operation upon completion of daily activity, and finally securing the site at the end of the day. The expectation is that these folks will be the first in and last out daily. As safety is our #1 core value, the successful candidate will embrace a safe workplace and not hesitate to contact leadership with any concerns. Reporting location is Thomas F. Farrell building in Richmond, but individuals would be assigned to solar close out projects across the state for varying durations. I expect immediate need people in Louisa County, VA and Greensville County, VA, but that may change as projects reach completion.
