NG Bailey, the UK's leading independent engineering and services business, are proud to be part of the MEH Alliance, a joint venture to deliver the mechanical, electrical and HVAC installation for the project.

As part of recent growth on this project, we are looking for additional Quality Managers to join us and support delivery in ensuring that all aspects of quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are implemented effectively throughout the lifecycle of the project. Each Quality Manager will primarily oversee the function for a specific discipline, so we are looking for applicants from Mechanical, Electrical or HVAC backgrounds.

This is a full-time permanent position based at Hinkley Point C in Bridgwater. The project has options in place for applicants who are working away from home through the week and generous uplifts and allowances are offered to accommodate this.

• Develop review, and approve procedures, work instructions, and quality plans specific to your area, ensuring they are aligned with project requirements and best practices.
• Oversee quality control inspections and audits to verify compliance with QA requirements, identifying non-conformances, and implementing corrective and preventive actions as necessary.
• Manage the documentation process within your area, to ensure the availability of accurate and up-to-date records for regulatory compliance and project traceability.
• Specifically ensuring Inspection Test Records are available and in use for all works within the discipline and life time quality records are monitored through project maturity ensuring readiness for handover.
• Ensure the identification and correct raising of NCRs for all areas of nonconformance in all aspects of the alliance works and processes. Monitor NCR progress towards closure and maintain constant communication for relevant teams on NCR progress and closure requirements.
• Provide training and guidance to project personnel, on quality procedures, standards, and requirements applicable to your area, promoting a culture of quality awareness and continuous improvement.
• Identify potential quality risks and hazards within your area, conducting risk assessments, and implementing risk mitigation measures to prevent quality issues and ensure the safety and reliability of the nuclear facility.
• Ensure compliance with applicable nuclear regulatory requirements, codes, standards, and licensing conditions related to quality assurance and quality control activities within your area of responsibility.
• Coordinate with other project disciplines, such as engineering, construction, and commissioning, to address interface issues, resolve conflicts, and facilitate smooth integration of quality assurance processes across different project phases.

Qualifications:

• Qualifications in an Engineering discipline, ONC / HNC / HND (Electrical, Mechanical or HVAC)
• Auditor Certification, preferably ISO9001:2015 Lead Auditor, registered with IRCA
• Preferred membership of Chartered Quality Institute

Experience:

• Experience in progressively responsible quality engineering positions, within major projects
• Previous experience in the nuclear sector and working within an alliance would be beneficial.
