Primary Responsibilities:

Engineering & Quality Leadership and Team Development

- Lead the engineering and quality organization directly — Quality Manager, Project Supervisors, Mechanical Designers and Estimating — including hiring, performance management, development planning and succession.
- Establish and enforce engineering standards, procedures, design templates and calculation methodologies across all facilities.
- Review and approve engineering deliverables and estimates, ensuring alignment with project scope, specification, quality and customer requirements.
- Own the engineering and quality budget, resource plan and technology roadmap, including CAD, code calculation software, quality/document management systems and ERP integration.
- Provide regular reporting to the Vice President / General Manager on engineering and quality performance, capacity, certificate status, risk and capability development.

Certificates of Authority & Quality Management System

- Serve as the named accountable owner of AEP’s Certificates of Authority and quality programs, including ASME Certificates of Authorization (N / NPT / NS scope as held or pursued) and all associated registrations, ensuring they are maintained, renewed and extended in step with the business plan.




- Own the Quality Assurance Manual and the quality management system as a whole, including the policies, procedures and program documents that AEP’s engineers design to and work under, and approve all revisions to them.
- Direct the Quality Manager in the execution of the quality program — internal and external audits, supplier qualification and surveillance, calibration, document and records control, training and qualification records, nonconformance and corrective action.
- Ensure the Quality Manager exercises independent authority to identify quality problems, stop work, place holds and control the disposition of nonconforming material, with a direct and unimpeded escalation route to the Vice President / General Manager where quality is placed in conflict with cost or schedule.
- Maintain, for every certificate held, a clear line of sight between the code and customer requirements, the engineering practices that satisfy them and the objective evidence that demonstrates compliance.
- Serve as the accountable interface to the Authorized Nuclear Inspector (ANI) and Authorized Inspector (AI); the Quality Manager conducts the day-to-day interface, surveys, audits and inspection coordination under that accountability.
- Lead preparation for, and closure of findings from, ASME triennial surveys and interim audits, Authorized Inspection Agency reviews, registrar audits and utility supplier qualification audits.
- Ensure that quality metrics, audit findings, customer complaints and nonconformance trends are reviewed at management level and drive corrective action in engineering practice, not only in documentation.
