The Opportunity

Interested in being HS2’s Quality Manager for £3bn Euston Station & £1.67bn Old Oak Common?

Are you a Quality Manager with experience on large, complex infrastructure programmes such as Rail Stations, Nuclear, Airports, Power, Complex buildings or Construction and looking to play a pivotal role on one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects?

HS2 Ltd, the organisation responsible for delivering and operating the UK’s high-speed rail network, is seeking experienced Quality Manager to provide strategic quality leadership across its major design and construction contracts.

This is a strategic, programme-level Quality role on one of the UK’s most complex infrastructure schemes, focusing on strategic quality management, trend analysis and system improvement - influencing quality performance at programme level rather than managing day-to-day NCRs.

About the Role

Based in London, you will provide quality management oversight on the New station Builds of £3b Euston Station (Dragados Mace) & £1.67bn Old Oak Common (Balfour Beatty, Vinci, Systra)

Your Role in the Programme

Working closely with the Heads of Quality for the Principal Contractors, you will represent the client’s assurance perspective, operating at a macro and strategic level.

Rather than managing individual non-conformances, you will:

• Ensure self-assuring principal contractors have robust quality management systems and processes.

• Drive continuous improvement across process, performance, efficiency and compliance -drive the Quality Improvement plan across delivery contracts.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare, analyse and present quality management information to senior business leaders – quality reports go to Board level & Dft consumption.
• Review and approve top-level project quality plans.
• Lead trend analysis of quality performance reports and data.
• Drive structured problem solving and continuous improvement initiatives
• Influence and challenge contractors to improve quality outcomes across complex delivery environments

Experience & Background Required

• As a guide would expect 5 years’ experience in quality management on complex Design & Build major projects.

• Background in major civils or large infrastructure delivery, including (but not limited to): Rail Stations, Nuclear, Airports, Highways, Water, Power, Complex buildings.

Key Skills & Knowledge

• Strong familiarity with NEC3 contract environments, including ECC quality requirements.
• Comfortable operating in a high-volume, complex documentation and deliverables environment.
• Experience as a Quality Manager on large infrastructure projects.
• Ideally a Lead Auditor, with experience planning and conducting external audits of Tier 1 contractors.
• Ability to work with large data sets, extract insight, and present clear, actionable recommendations to senior leadership.

• HNC / NVQ Level 5 or equivalent
• Ideally Degree or Level 6 qualification in Engineering, Science, or Quality
• Support provided toward Chartered Quality Institute (CQI) membership
• Certified ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor Training Course
