Construction Quality Manager
Location: Leeds, West Yorkshire (Hybrid, with site visits)
Salary: £75,000 – £85,000 per annum + Car Allowance + Pension + Benefits
Industry: Water, Environmental Infrastructure & Construction
Employment Type: Full-Time
The Opportunity:
We are recruiting an experienced Construction Quality Manager to join a major infrastructure delivery programme within the UK water and environmental engineering sector.
This is an opportunity to take responsibility for construction quality, technical assurance and compliance across a portfolio of infrastructure projects designed to improve environmental performance, wastewater management and long-term asset sustainability.
Working alongside multidisciplinary engineering, construction and delivery teams, you will ensure that projects meet the required technical, regulatory and quality standards from initial design through construction, commissioning and final handover.
Experience within the water or wastewater sector would be highly advantageous. However, we are equally interested in candidates from major civil engineering, utilities, infrastructure and complex construction environments who can demonstrate strong technical quality management experience.
Key Responsibilities:
• Lead second-line quality assurance activities across construction, engineering and commissioning operations. • Review and oversee construction quality plans, technical assurance procedures and quality management systems. • Ensure compliance with contractual specifications, engineering drawings, regulatory requirements and industry standards. • Monitor Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), technical inspections, testing activities and quality documentation. • Conduct site inspections, quality audits and technical reviews to identify potential risks and non-conformances. • Oversee Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), corrective actions, snagging registers and close-out activities. • Ensure documentation and technical assurance records are accurate, complete and auditable. • Assess the quality performance of contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and delivery partners. • Support construction and commissioning teams in achieving compliant, right-first-time project delivery. • Identify opportunities to improve quality processes, minimise defects and strengthen operational performance. • Provide quality assurance reporting, recommendations and updates to senior programme stakeholders. • Ensure appropriate health, safety and environmental controls are reflected throughout construction and commissioning.
