Job description

QA/QC Supervisor - Drywall & Façades | Major Construction Project | £350-£500 Per Day

Location: Somerset, Giga Factory

Full-time | Site-based

Quality on a major construction project depends on more than finding defects at the end. It takes someone who understands the installation detail, recognises risks early and can work with site teams to get the work right first time.

We are seeking a QA/QC Supervisor to deliver works on a major gigafactory construction project in Somerset. This is a hands‑on role with responsibility for maintaining quality across the site operations, from material checks and installation inspections through to defect close‑out and handover.

Take ownership of quality on site

Reporting to the Project Manager / Construction Manager, you’ll work closely with site managers, supervisors, operatives and subcontractors to ensure installations meet approved drawings, project specifications, relevant building regulations and industry standards.

Your remit will cover drywall, metal stud partitions, ceilings, fire‑rated systems and façade installations. Alongside checking workmanship, you’ll help prevent recurring problems, reduce remedial work and protect the programme.

Key responsibilities include:

• Implementing and maintaining the project Quality Assurance Plan and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs).
• Reviewing drawings, technical specifications, material approvals and method statements, and checking that installed products meet the required performance standards.
• Carrying out site inspections and quality audits, checking alignment, tolerances, fixings, interfaces and installation details.
• Verifying fire stopping, fire‑rated assemblies, acoustic requirements and thermal performance details against approved specifications.
• Coordinating inspections with the principal contractor, client representatives, consultants and other relevant stakeholders.
• Raising and managing non‑conformance reports, investigating root causes and working with site teams on corrective and preventative actions.
• Tracking defects through to closure within agreed timescales and checking completed works against handover requirements.
• Maintaining inspection records, quality registers, test documentation and photographic evidence; preparing quality reports and supporting audits, O&M manuals and handover documentation.
• Providing practical guidance to installation teams, attending progress and quality meetings, and identifying risks before they affect delivery.

What you’ll bring

• You’ll need previous construction QA/QC experience, including work on large‑scale commercial, industrial or other major construction projects.
• Strong technical knowledge of drywall, drylining, internal partitions, ceilings and/or façade systems is essential, together with a relevant construction or recognised QA/QC qualification.
• You should be confident interpreting construction drawings and specifications, applying ITPs and quality procedures, conducting inspections and audits, and managing non‑conformances.
• Clear reporting, sound organisation and the ability to manage competing priorities independently will be important. You’ll also be comfortable challenging poor workmanship while maintaining constructive relationships.
• This role suits someone technically knowledgeable, commercially aware and practical: visible on site, decisive when issues arise and committed to safe, compliant workmanship.
• Experience on industrial, manufacturing or infrastructure projects would be useful.
• Knowledge of cladding and building-envelope interfaces, fire‑rated drywall, acoustics and fire stopping would also be advantageous, as would experience with principal contractor or client-side quality teams. ISO 9001 Internal Auditor training, CSCS credentials and/or a relevant construction NVQ are desirable.
