The Company

This organisation is established Australian engineering and construction business delivering major infrastructure and renewable energy projects. With a strong pipeline of complex energy developments, the business is continuing to invest in its project delivery and quality capability.

Working closely with construction, engineering, commissioning, OEM, client and subcontractor stakeholders, you will play a critical role in identifying quality risks early, driving accountability on site and ensuring works are delivered in accordance with approved designs, technical specifications, Australian Standards and contractual requirements.

• Significant QA/QC experience across major construction or EPC projects, ideally in a Quality Manager or senior project quality leadership capacity.
• Demonstrated experience across high-voltage substation construction, including civil and electrical interfaces.
• Strong working knowledge of Project Quality Plans, ITPs, inspection and testing, NCR management, root-cause analysis, audits and quality reporting.
• Experience managing subcontractor and supplier quality within an active construction environment.
• A practical understanding of ISO 9001, relevant Australian Standards and contractual quality requirements.
• The ability to influence construction and engineering teams while confidently engaging clients, suppliers and other key project stakeholders.
• A current Australian construction White Card and driver’s licence, with the ability to work on site under the agreed DIDO/FIFO arrangement.

This is an opportunity to take a pivotal quality leadership role on a major renewable energy project, with broad accountability across construction, commissioning readiness and project handover. The role offers exposure to a technically complex BESS and high-voltage substation development, leadership of a site-based quality team and the opportunity to work closely with senior project, engineering, commissioning and client stakeholders. Site-based DIDO/FIFO arrangements are available as agreed.
