• Making sure important inspections are completed at the correct stages
• Identifying poor workmanship, defects and work that does not meet the required standard
• Producing clear reports explaining what needs to be corrected
• Checking that defects and quality issues are properly resolved
• Making sure inspection records, photographs and test certificates are complete
• Keeping project quality documents organised and correctly stored on SharePoint
• Identifying repeated problems and helping teams prevent them on future projects
• Providing practical quality guidance and training to project teams

• A practical approach focused on preventing defects
• Confidence to challenge work that does not meet the required standard
• Strong communication and report-writing skills
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and SharePoint
