Who on the job site receives and checks materials?

• A. QCI
• B. Site clerk
• C. Material controller
• D. Purchasing agent

Answer: (A)

The person who handles receiving and inspecting materials on the site is the Quality Control Inspector. Their job is to verify that every incoming shipment matches the purchase order and project specs, check for damage, confirm the right quantities, and ensure all required certifications or test results are in place before the material is released for use. This focus on quality and conformance is what makes them the right choice for handling material receipt and inspection.

Other roles on site have different focuses. The site clerk mainly handles paperwork and record-keeping for deliveries. The material controller tracks and manages stock and where everything is stored. The purchasing agent handles procurement and supplier coordination, not the on-site inspection of each shipment.
