• Apply quality standards and inspection techniques for concrete and steel works.
• Implement testing protocols and verify material compliance.
• Manage quality documentation and project audit trails.
• Address quality-related risks and apply corrective actions effectively.

Target Competencies:

• Quality Planning and Inspection
• Structural Material Testing
• Compliance and Documentation
• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
• Root Cause Analysis and Preventive Actions

• Civil, Structural, and Quality Engineers
• Site Managers and Construction Supervisors
• Quality Inspectors and Project Auditors
