QA QC Site Inspector (ELV) Construction Supervision Consultant

About the Role

Norconsult Telematics is seeking a QA QC Site Inspector (ELV) Construction Supervision Consultant to join their team in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This contract role involves performing daily quality inspections of extra-low-voltage (ELV) and low-current systems at both off-site factories and on-site locations. The inspector will ensure that installations comply with approved drawings, specifications, and inspection and test plans.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct daily inspections of ELV and low-current installations against approved drawings, technical specifications, and the agreed inspection and test plan (ITP), ensuring timely and clear recording of results.
• Perform in-factory inspections on off-site modules and on-site inspections for systems including fire alarm and detection, CCTV, access control, intrusion detection, public address and voice alarm, building management systems (BMS), structured cabling and data, and audio-visual systems.
• Verify that the Contractor's method statements (MS) and inspection and test plans (ITP) are approved and in place before inspecting related activities.
• Execute inspection-readiness checks before any hold point is opened, confirming that prerequisites, prior inspections, and approved materials are in place.
• Witness and clear the Contractor's material inspection requests (MIR) and work inspection requests (WIR) at each hold and witness point, accepting compliant work or requiring rectification, and preventing work from being covered before inspection.
• Inspect containment, cable routing, terminations, labeling, and segregation from power cabling, and verify structured-cabling installation and testing.
• Witness ELV testing and commissioning, including point-to-point and continuity tests, structured-cabling certification, and cause-and-effect testing for fire alarm and integrated systems.
• Witness the ELV scope of the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) before module shipment and the Site Acceptance Test (SAT) post-installation, confirming inter-module ELV connections on site.
• Verify calibration certificates of test and measuring equipment before its use for acceptance.
• Raise, log, and track Inspection Requests and Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), maintain punch and snag lists, and perform first-check verification of installed and progress quantities to support payment, distinct from Quantity Surveyor approval.

Qualifications and Experience

• 5-10 years of experience in ELV systems inspection and related testing and commissioning, including fire alarm cause-and-effect and structured-cabling certification.
• Working knowledge of fire alarm, structured cabling, and security-system standards, as well as Saudi Building Code (SBC) fire-protection requirements.
• Proficiency with mainstream project and supervision systems (*, Primavera P6, Aconex, AutoCAD) and adaptability to in-house consultant systems.
• Saudi or Gulf (GCC) construction-supervision experience is highly preferred.
• Good written and spoken English for inspection records and reporting; Arabic language skills are an advantage.

Work Environment and Location

This role is based across multiple cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with some travel potentially required. Candidates must be legally eligible to work in Saudi Arabia.
