Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

About Us

We are a regional building contractor delivering works across insurance repairs, major projects, refurbishment, regeneration, social housing and local authority contracts.

Our work includes a wide range of construction projects, from day-to-day repair and reinstatement works through to larger refurbishment and planned works schemes. We pride ourselves on delivering safe, well-managed, high-quality work while maintaining strong relationships with clients, residents, subcontractors and site teams.

About the Role

We are looking for a practical, reliable and process-driven SHEQ Co-ordinator / Quality Inspector to support our operational teams across multiple live construction sites.

This role would suit someone with a strong construction background who has a good eye for quality, workmanship and site standards.

The role will focus on two key areas:

• Quality inspections - checking workmanship, finishes, defects, snagging, site housekeeping, and overall standards of work.
• Health & Safety compliance - checking that sites are being managed safely and in line with company procedures, legal requirements, and client expectations.You do not need to be fully qualified in Health & Safety from day one, but you must have good practical construction knowledge, strong attention to detail, good computer skills and a genuine interest in developing in this area.

The right person will be organised, hard-working, confident using systems, and able to follow processes properly. You will be responsible for completing inspection reports, recording findings accurately, uploading evidence, tracking actions and helping ensure issues are closed out.

The company will support the right person with training and professional development, including relevant Health & Safety qualifications.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who understands construction, wants to move away from being fully on the tools, and is interested in building a long-term career in quality, compliance, Health & Safety and operational standards.
