About The Role

The Quality Function Manager (Central Function) owns quality across the Volta fleet - from vendor quality and site inspection through to the test and commissioning standards that prove a facility is ready for compute. In an organization built on repeatable delivery, quality is what makes repetition worth having.

You will lead the quality leads embedded in each project team through a functional line, set the standards they work to, and build the assurance programs that keep every site honest. The role works closely with safety, commissioning and the DSX team.

• Own non-conformance management and drive root-cause resolution across the fleet

• Set the quality standards that underpin commissioning from level 1 through level 5

• Run quality audits and assurance reviews across active sites

• Embed right-first-time practices and share learning across projects

What You Bring

• Quality leadership on data center or mission-critical construction programs is essential

• Deep familiarity with commissioning practice on complex, MEP-heavy facilities

• Experience building or running quality systems across multiple projects

• A strong record in vendor quality and factory acceptance for critical equipment

• Structured root-cause problem solving and clear reporting

• The credibility to hold projects and contractors to standard
