Quality Manager

£550 - £600 per day
Temporary

Tier 1 Major Projects Engineering Contractor requires the services of an experienced Quality Manager to lead a flagship defence infrastructure project.

This critical, high-hazard megaprojects would suit a contractor who thrives in highly regulated environments. You will be taking ownership of end-to-end quality assurance, stage-gate verifications, and compliance workflows on technically challenging, multi-million-pound assets designed to protect the UK's strategic national infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

  • Drive Quality Governance: Establish, refine, and enforce robust Project Quality Plans (PQPs) and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) across a multi-disciplinary engineering and commissioning lifecycle.
  • Subcontractor & Supply Chain Surveillance: Manage high-frequency quality audits and surveillance programmes across specialized tier-2 subcontractors and heavy fabrication partners.
  • Regulatory Liaison: Ensure all engineering outputs strictly satisfy ISO 9001 and AQAP 2110 requirements, acting as a key interface for external nuclear safety inspectors.
  • Stage-Gate Verification: Lead rigorous design-to-build verification gates for high-hazard structural, mechanical, and safety-critical components.
  • Defect Mitigation: Spearhead comprehensive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations to proactively eliminate fabrication defects and engineering rework.

Requirements for this post include

  • Chartered status with the Chartered Quality Institute (CQP MCQI) or a related chartered engineering body.
  • IRCA-registered ISO 9001 Lead Auditor qualification.
  • Extensive experience (typically 5 8+ years) managing quality management systems within Civil Nuclear, Defence (MOD), Aerospace, or High-Hazard Energy infrastructure.
  • Strong familiarity with nuclear-grade fabrication codes, asset assurance, and stringent engineering documentation practices.

Due to the ultra-secure nature of this national defence project, candidates must be a British citizen. Dual nationality status cannot be accommodated for this specific framework. You must hold, or be fully capable of obtaining and maintaining, high-level Security Check (SC) or Developed Vetting (DV) clearance.

If you are interested in this opportunity, then kindly lodge your CV here now.
