The role combines hands-on regulatory accountability with up-to-date, data-driven quality control: digital inspection, real-time conformity metrics, human-factors-based error prevention and a just culture. The VP Quality Control works in close partnership with, but independently of, the Quality Assurance function, which audits the maintenance control system on behalf of the Accountable Executive.

- Ensure findings raised by the Quality Assurance program and by TCCA are addressed with effective, timely corrective action; own corrective action plans for findings within the maintenance control system.
