Erland promotes Vincent to quality control coordinator
Burlington, MA Erland Construction has promoted Steven Vincent to quality control coordinator. Vincent, who joined Erland in 2021 as a field supervisor, exhibited a keen eye for quality early in his career with EMD Serono, a LEED Gold Certified 149,000 s/f mixed-use life science building. Being a quick study and having a strong desire to learn earned him the opportunity to hold a key role in Erland’s quality program.
As quality control coordinator, Vincent will focus on the continual improvement of the overall quality culture on all of Erland’s construction projects. He will collaborate with operations to perform quality audits, on-site inspections, and warranty investigations, as well as attend subcontractor pre-mobilization meetings and participate in 3rd party envelope review process with the project team, design team, and owner.
“Having Steve Vincent take on the role of Quality Control Coordinator is a critical step in Erland’s continuous dedication to delivering high-quality projects,” said Dan James, vice president, general superintendent, Erland Construction. “His proactive approach to finding solutions and strong communication skills makes him a great fit for the role.”
