The Opportunity

• Inspecting civil engineering, structural, building, fit-out and M&E works
• Helping project teams prepare Project Quality Plans and Inspection and Test Plans
• 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
• Producing monthly quality reports for the senior management team
• Raising serious quality concerns with the Operations Directors

About You

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• Experience as a Construction Quality Manager, Clerk of Works, Project Manager, Site Manager or similar

• A strong understanding of how construction work should be built and inspected

• 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
• The flexibility to travel between projects across London

Construction qualifications would be useful, but strong practical experience is more important.
