Talent Pool ā Airport QA/QC Manager roles for Middle East projects focus on establishing and overseeing quality assurance and quality control systems across complex aviation developments. The role involves implementing quality plans, conducting audits and inspections, and ensuring compliance with international standards and project specifications across large-scale airport infrastructure developments. The Airport QA/QC Manager acts as the PMC representative for all QA/QC matters, coordinating between contractors, clients, and supervision teams during project execution while reviewing program-wide quality management plans and developing project-specific Quality Management Strategy and Plan in coordination with the Project Director.

The position requires oversight of construction quality compliance, reviewing inspections, monitoring work quality, tracking deficiency corrections, issuing NCRs, and verifying acceptance of completed works. The Airport QA/QC Manager provides QA/QC input to weekly, monthly, and executive reports, conducts QA/QC meetings, formulates corrective actions, and ensures implementation of the PMC Performance Management Framework (PMF) for quality to achieve KPIs and milestone targets. Responsibilities extend to overseeing contractor quality delivery across construction, fit-out, and commissioning phases, participating in project close-out activities, verifying quality documentation, and ensuring compliance with Hill Internationalās Quality, Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health policies and procedures. The role requires extensive knowledge of quality principles, quality tools, engineering, procurement, construction, testing, operations, and decommissioning quality requirements, along with experience applying reconciled corrective actions to non-conformance cases and knowledge of organizational requirements affecting quality planning. The position demands familiarity with computer applications, strong financial performance management awareness, international project experience preferably in GCC, ISO 9001 Lead Auditor or Lead Assessor certification, and experience managing large-scale airport or infrastructure projects within multinational environments.
