What is the primary role of a Quality Control (QC) Manager in FDOT projects?

The primary role of a Quality Control (QC) Manager in FDOT projects is to oversee and ensure that the quality of construction and materials meets project specifications. This is crucial because the quality of both the materials used and the construction processes directly affects the safety, durability, and overall success of transportation projects. A QC Manager implements quality assurance plans, conducts inspections and tests, ensures compliance with applicable regulations and standards, and works closely with contractors and engineers to identify and rectify any quality-related issues. By maintaining high-quality standards, the QC Manager helps ensure that the project not only meets design specifications but also adheres to safety and performance criteria established by FDOT, ultimately contributing to the efficiency and longevity of the infrastructure.
