• Support the development, review and updating of ITPs, checklists, NCRs and other quality documentation.
• Report and close out non-conformances, assisting with corrective and preventive actions.
• Support the preparation of handover documentation including commissioning records, assurance packs and O&M information.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, supervisors and the wider delivery team to quickly resolve technical or quality issues.
• Promote continuous improvement and contribute to lessons‑learned and quality reviews.

Requirements

• Experience in a QA / QC role within civils, utilities, water, or heavy infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of quality assurance processes, ITPs, inspections and NCR management.
• Excellent attention to detail and high‑level record‑keeping/document control abilities.
• Comfortable using digital documentation systems (e.g., CDEs) and MS Office tools.
• Ability to work effectively in a high‑density, complex urban environment.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to support engineering and site teams.

• Long‑term contract with involvement across several phases of diversion and enabling works.
• Chance to influence quality systems and assurance processes on a complex project.
• Be part of a high‑performing team delivering critical infrastructure improvements.
