The Quality Control Manager (QCM) develops, implements, and enforces the site-specific Quality Control Plan (QCP) to ensure all custodial services comply with the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Operating independently of production and operations staff, the QCM carries out rigorous inspections, tracks systemic issues, and executes immediate corrective actions. The QCM serves as the primary technical link to the Army's Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and Quality Assurance (QA) personnel to ensure high-quality service delivery across the installation.

Key Responsibilities

The QCM’s work spans inspection execution, government liaison, corrective action, force protection awareness, environmental compliance, and quality trend reporting.

• Conduct daily inspections of distinct Army footprints, including Headquarters (HQ) buildings, barracks, Dining Facilities (DFACs), motor pools, and fitness centers.
• Maintain inspection records digitally for the duration of the contract, ensuring they are readily available for immediate COR or QA review.
• Respond to Government Inspection Reports (such as Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan metrics) and draft formal Corrective Action Plans (CAP) within designated contractual hours.
