Project Quality Manager III — Billings, MT

What a week in this job looks like

The week is the system and the people: an audit-program review with your Project Quality Managers, a supplier qualification decision that procurement is waiting on, a regulator's audit finding that needs a root cause and an executive-level answer, and the quarterly quality report that tells leadership what the numbers mean. The field visits you make are deliberate — to see whether the system you built is the one being followed.

You also carry the program's institutional standard: when a project team wants to accept a nonconformance to hold schedule, the decision and its documentation are yours.

Certifications, training, and where this leads

Project Quality Manager III is a senior leadership seat. The path from here is director of quality for the practice, or a client-embedded program quality director role on the large programs you already serve.

Pay, schedule, and travel

Pay runs $140,000 to $175,000 depending on certifications held, verified experience, and the program you are assigned to. The rhythm follows the project's audit and milestone calendar more than the daily pour schedule: surveillance and audits are planned weeks ahead, and turnover pushes the pace at the end.

Texas positions are dispatched from the Sugar Land headquarters; project-site positions elsewhere are staffed on a project basis with travel and per diem as assigned, and the listing for your city says which one it is.

Safety, quality, and the standards we work under

Owner-side quality work is performed under the client's quality management system and our own documented AASHTO R18 quality system, with the independence that surveillance and audit require. Findings are reported as found; the record is not negotiated.

You will spend real time on the difficult conversations — with contractors about rejected records, with suppliers about disqualification, and with project leadership about what accepting a nonconformance actually costs.

How hiring works, and our commitment

Apply with your project list, the quality programs and standards you have worked under, and your audit and certification history. Expect a direct conversation with the people you would work for, references that get called, and a written offer consistent with this posting. The role requires a valid driver's license and the ability to be present on active jobsites, with pre-employment screening consistent with jobsite and client requirements.

We are an equal opportunity employer and consider every applicant without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or veteran status.
