Full-time
Location: London (site-based)
Salary : £55,000–£65,000 per year
Contract : Full time
Travel : Occasional (London & South-East, project-led)

 
The Role

 
We are seeking an ambitious Clerk of Works professional to join the growing Quality Team at Circle Development, working primarily on site across live residential developments, industrial & education projects in London & the South-East.

 
This is a hands-on, site-based and client-facing role for a practitioner who enjoys being embedded on projects, building trusted relationships, and influencing quality outcomes in real time. You’ll work with privately owned clients who value quality and act on professional feedback.

 
You will assist the Circle Quality team to oversee build quality from early construction through to Practical Completion and the Defects Liability Period, ensuring works comply with Employer’s Requirements, drawings, specifications, building regulations and home warranty standards.

 
You’ll be part of an established Quality Team, working closely with project managers, quantity surveyors and contractors, with clear support and escalation routes.

 
Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out regular, structured site inspections across multiple London-based projects
  • Review works in progress and completed works for quality and compliance
  • Identify, record and follow up on defects, observations and non-conformances
  • Use Circle’s industry-specific inspection and reporting app to capture:

    • progress photos
    • observations
    • clear, professional reports in real time on site
    • Liaise directly with contractors, clients and the wider project team

  • Escalate unresolved or repeated issues where required
  • Maintain accurate, auditable inspection records and trackers
  • Modern reporting technology is used to reduce admin and avoid lengthy write-ups after site visits.


 
About You

 
Essential:

  • Proven experience as a construction professional – Clerk of Works / Site Manager (or equivalent)
  • Chartered status - ICWCI and/or MCIOB
  • Good construction knowledge and technical understanding
  • Confident communicator, comfortable challenging poor workmanship constructively
  • Competent using digital inspection or snagging software


 
About Circle

 
Circle delivers a mix of residential, commercial and industrial developments across the UK.

 
We work as an extension of our clients’ teams, embedding ourselves within projects and building strong, collaborative relationships.

 
The business has a supportive, friendly and people-focused culture, with hands-on directors who stay close to projects and actively support their teams. People tend to stay at Circle, creating stable teams and consistent delivery.

 
Benefits

  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Private healthcare after probation
  • Nest Pension
  • Supportive, collaborative team environment
  • Modern systems that make the role easier to do well
