• Identify, record, and report any non-conforming materials, initiate non-conformance reports (NCRs)(NCRs), and follow up on corrective and preventive actions.

• Verify proper storage, handling, and protection of materials on site, with particular attention to corrosion and durability in the island’s marine/coastal environment.

• Support site engineers and inspectors by confirming that only approved materials are used in structural, civil, and finishing works.

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of material inspections, test results, approvals, rejections, and related correspondence.

• Coordinate with contractors, suppliers, and laboratories to resolve material-related issues and clarify requirements from specifications and standards.

• Assist in reviewing material submittals, datasheets, and samples presented by contractors before approval.

• Contribute to regular quality and progress meetings, providing updates on material compliance, testing status, and any risks to construction quality.

• Promote and support health, safety, and environmental requirements during sampling, testing, storage, and handling of materials on site.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

• Basic computer skills and proficiency in MS Office for reporting and records management.

• Good communication skills to coordinate with contractors, labs, suppliers, and the supervision team.

• Commitment to health, safety, and environmental protocols in testing and handling of materials.
