AECOM is seeking an experienced Construction Quality Auditor to be based in our Baltimore, MD office to support the B&P Tunnel Replacement (BPTR) Program among other project opportunities available at AECOM.
AECOM is the delivery partner for Amtrak on the BPTR Program that will upgrade a ten-mile section of the Northeast Corridor (NEC), America’s busiest passenger rail line. The Program will also include delivery of new roadway and railroad bridges, new rail systems and track, and a new ADA-accessible West Baltimore MARC station. The delivery partner team is responsible for supporting Amtrak with overseeing the full breadth of the program. The scope of services includes program management, design oversight, construction oversight, commissioning oversight, program controls, commercial management, and capacity building.
The Construction Field Quality Auditor will play a critical role in ensuring that construction activities across the program adhere to contract requirements, technical specifications, Amtrak standards, federal regulations (FTA, FRA), Build America, Buy America (BABA) and Cargo Act provisions. This field‑focused position will perform independent audits and surveillance to verify that “Construction Manager at Risk” (CMAR) contractors and subcontractors implement effective quality control processes and deliver compliant work.
Working from both the Integrated Project Office (IPO) and on construction sites throughout Baltimore, the Construction Field Quality Auditor will support the Quality Lead and Quality Team by identifying trends, documenting deficiencies, tracking corrective actions, and providing objective assessments of construction quality and compliance.
The ideal candidate brings experience performing construction quality audits or inspections on large‑scale infrastructure, transit, or rail programs. This role requires significant field presence, attention to detail, identification of negative and positive trends and the ability to communicate findings objectively to program leadership and contractor teams. Ability to navigate evolving construction sites and wear all required Personnel Protective Equipment is required for the position.
