Major Activities
Quality Management
1. Quality Planning & Documentation
- Implement FQP and site-specific ITPs in alignment with project contracts and standards.
- Ensure that method statements and work procedures are reviewed and approved before execution.
- Maintain updated Quality Documentation (inspection reports, calibration records, certificates, material approvals, test results).
2. Incoming Material Quality Control
- Inspection and verification of incoming materials and equipment (modules, inverters, MMS, cables, transformers, switchgear).
- Ensure compliance with manufacturer’s test certificates and QA/QC acceptance criteria.
- Reject and document any non-compliant materials.
3. Construction & Installation Quality Oversight
- Ensure that civil works (foundations, trenches, cable routes) meet engineering drawings, compaction specs, and concrete quality requirements.
- Monitor mechanical installation of MMS, modules, and trackers for torque settings, alignment, and corrosion protection.
- Oversee electrical installation for cabling, terminations, earthing, SCB/SMB installation, inverter & transformer integration.
- Witness critical tests (megger, continuity, earthing resistance, HV tests).
4. Inspection & Testing
- Conduct inspections as per ITPs – Hold Points / Witness Points.
- Manage and record all site tests: soil resistivity, concrete cube testing, torque verification, insulation resistance, etc.
- Ensure all test equipment is calibrated and records are available.
5. Non-Conformance & Corrective Actions
- Issue NCRs for deviations from specifications.
- Track and verify corrective & preventive actions (CAPA) closure.
- Root cause analysis for repetitive quality issues.
6. Handover & Final Documentation
- Compile As-Built Quality Dossiers for each discipline.
- Ensure Punch List items are tracked and closed before PAC (Provisional Acceptance Certificate).
- Deliver final quality reports for client acceptance.
7. Coordination & Reporting
- Conduct daily / weekly quality coordination meetings with EPC and subcontractors.
- Prepare Weekly Quality Reports for management.
- Liaise with statutory bodies (where required) for compliance inspections
