You should be confident enough to challenge incorrect or poor-quality installation, but able to do so constructively and maintain a good relationship with site teams. The right person will understand that quality assurance is not simply about finding faults at the end of a project. The aim is to identify potential issues early, help teams get the installation right first time and maintain the evidence needed for inspection, handover and compliance.
