Job description

WHO ARE ILOS?

ILOS is a fast-growing renewable energy company with a strong presence across Europe, backed by BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts and is committed to accelerating the energy transition. Since 2018, we have developed, built, and operated large-scale solar PV projects across seven core markets.

THE ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for a hands-on Quality Manager to help ensure our solar projects in Ireland are built right first time. You will take ownership of quality across the full project lifecycle from early construction through testing, handover and beyond.

This is a practical, site-focused role. You will spend most of your week on site, working closely with contractors, construction teams, HSE and technical colleagues to spot issues early, drive them through to resolution and make sure every project meets the expected standards for quality, safety and performance. While we have site vehicles, these are not always available so we need someone capable of walking hundreds of acres of sites within a day comfortably.

TASKS

• Spend three to four days per week on various sites across Ireland, carrying out inspections across ramming, civil works, mounting structures, PV module installation and associated construction activities.


• Make sure works are delivered in line with project drawings, technical specifications, manufacturer instructions and relevant Irish building and IS EN standards.


• Develop and maintain practical Inspection and Test Plans, quality checklists and project-specific QA procedures.


• Review subcontractor quality documentation, including inspection records, test protocols, checklists and as-built information.


• Identify quality issues early, raise and manage NCRs and snagging lists, and work with contractors to drive corrective actions through to close-out.


• Work closely with HSE and technical teams to ensure quality and safety requirements are aligned, including areas such as torque checks, module handling and installation standards.


• Support subcontractor onboarding and provide clear QA briefings, guidance and clarification where needed.


• Use digital QA tools to record site inspections, manage defects, track actions and produce clear quality dashboards.


• Provide regular quality updates, site observations and performance reports to the Head of Construction.


• Support key milestone inspections, PAC/FAC handover documentation and the smooth transition of completed projects to O&M and Asset Management.


• Help capture lessons learned, monitor recurring quality issues and suggest practical improvements for future projects.


• Support O&M and Asset Management teams in resolving latent defects or quality issues identified after handover.

PROFILE

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.


• A minimum of 3 years of experience in QA/QC management within EPC construction projects, ideally in the renewable energy sector.


• In-depth knowledge of construction processes, materials, and industry regulations.


• Proficiency in project management software and Microsoft Office Suite.


• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to liaise effectively with both internal teams and external stakeholders.


• Exceptional attention to detail and excellent problem-solving abilities.


• Ability to work independently while also being a collaborative team player.

Become part of a committed team shaping the future of clean energy, together.
