About the Role
We are looking for a Precast QC Engineer to own quality across the full lifecycle of our tunnel lining: raw materials, segment production, handling and storage, and installation in the tunnel, along with the grout that locks it all in place. You'll work hand-in-hand with our mining, precast production team, field engineers, and TBM crews in a fast-paced environment where quality directly gates tunneling speed.
