Visiting projects regularly to inspect the quality of completed and ongoing work
Checking that work matches the approved drawings and specifications
Making sure the correct materials and products are being used
Inspecting civil engineering, structural, building, fit-out and M&E works
Helping project teams prepare Project Quality Plans and Inspection and Test Plans

Checking that defects and quality issues are properly resolved
Making sure inspection records, photographs and test certificates are complete
Keeping project quality documents organised and correctly stored on SharePoint
Identifying repeated problems and helping teams prevent them on future projects
Providing practical quality guidance and training to project teams
Producing monthly quality reports for the senior management team

A strong understanding of how construction work should be built and inspected

A practical approach focused on preventing defects
Confidence to challenge work that does not meet the required standard
Strong communication and report-writing skills
