Senior QA/QC Manager

QAQC Manager Jobs in Riyadh – Job Overview

Elegancia MEP Arabia has advertised a Senior QA/QC Manager vacancy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Job description

GENERAL occupational practice: The following description explains the usual scope of a senior qa/qc manager. It provides occupational context only. It adds no employer assignments or selection requirements. Quality management concerns how an organisation controls the processes that produce acceptable work and demonstrates their effectiveness. A senior QA/QC manager looks across assurance, inspection and corrective action rather than treating each completed checklist as an isolated success. The general scope includes clarifying quality responsibilities, directing attention to significant risks and ensuring evidence supports acceptance. Management judgement matters when delivery pressure, incomplete records and inconsistent practices make the apparent status of work less reliable than it seems.

Setting the framework for reliable quality

The quality framework starts with applicable requirements and the allocation of work among participants. The manager examines how technical requirements become inspection plans, work controls and handover records. Participants need to understand interface responsibilities, particularly when one party supplies evidence that another relies on for acceptance. The purpose is not to multiply forms. It is to establish controls that reveal departures at a useful stage and make the person authorised to decide the response identifiable.

The manager assesses quality performance through the substance of findings as well as their reported status. A falling number of open nonconformities might indicate effective correction, but it might also reflect premature closure or reduced reporting. Senior review tests a sample of records against the work and supporting evidence. The manager examines recurring defects for common causes such as unclear instructions, ineffective supervision or missing verification. This connects quality reporting to management decisions about the process instead of allowing the report to become a favourable presentation of incomplete facts.

Planning assurance activity requires proportionate attention to risk and change. A familiar operation with stable controls may need a different review approach from newly introduced work or a troubled supplier package. The manager coordinates reviews so findings reach the people able to act. Observations need to explain the process weakness and its effect, while corrective responses should address more than the immediate example. Follow-up then asks whether the revised control works in practice, avoiding closure based solely on the issue of a replacement instruction.

Directing improvement and acceptance readiness

Consider a repeated pattern of acceptable inspection results followed by defects discovered during later testing. The immediate temptation may be to increase inspection volume. A senior manager first examines whether inspections occurred at the right stage and tested the relevant characteristic. If the defect remained hidden until operation, the control plan may need different evidence or a revised hold point. Engineering, construction and testing representatives help establish an appropriate response. The quality team then checks the agreed change against subsequent work to establish whether it prevents recurrence.

The manager also helps resolve disagreements over quality status without overriding technical acceptance authority. Where a delivery team considers a deviation minor, the quality record still needs a reasoned disposition from the responsible authority. Where documentation is missing, its significance depends on what it establishes about the completed work. Escalation should set out the consequence, available evidence and decision required. This allows management to address the actual risk while preserving an honest distinction between accepted work, pending review and corrective activity.

Completion at management level involves confidence in both delivered work and the records supporting its acceptance. Open matters need defined ownership and an agreed treatment rather than disappearing inside a general handover statement. Quality lessons should identify which controls proved effective and which require improvement in future work. A credible closing assessment explains material limitations and confirms the route for any residual action. This provides operational and project leaders with a usable quality position grounded in evidence, not merely an impressive volume of completed documentation.

Typical Duties

• Lead quality assurance and quality control activities to maintain consistent quality standards.
