Job description

We have a fantastic, new opportunity for a Quality Engineer to join a large-scale Highways project in Greater Manchester. A successful candidate will hold a responsible for ensuring the effective performance of all quality activities against the compliance requirements of project specifications and standards.

Costain has been appointed as Delivery Integration Partner by National Highways (NH) for delivery of the £240m improvement of the Simister Island M60/M62/M66 interchange (M60 Junction 18), north of Manchester. As Delivery Integration Partner, Costain will overhaul the busy junction involving complex traffic management to keep tens of thousands of vehicles moving whilst construction takes place.

The works consist of:

• M66 mainline southbound widening and southbound slip road realignment to allow for construction of the northern loop
• A widened connector road from M60 northbound to M60 westbound – replacing the current single lane with two lanes
• Adding an extra lane in each direction on the M60 Junctions 17 to 18 (increasing from 4 to 5 lanes) while retaining the hard shoulders
• Upgrades to drainage, lighting, motorway technology, signage and signalling.
