A well-established residential housebuilder is looking to appoint a Quality Assistant Manager to support the delivery of high-quality new-build homes across Shropshire. Their developments are located within approximately 30 miles of their office, so applicants should live in Telford, Shrewsbury or the surrounding area.
This opportunity would be particularly suitable for an experienced Assistant Site Manager who wants to move away from day-to-day site management and develop a career focused on build quality. Applications will also be considered from former NHBC inspectors or local authority Building Control Inspectors with suitable residential experience.
The Quality Assistant Manager Role
Working closely with the Quality Manager, the successful Quality Assistant Manager will travel between live developments and complete internal inspections at key stages of the build process.
The role will involve carrying out detailed audits in a similar way to NHBC stage inspections, ensuring workmanship meets the required standards before construction progresses. You will identify defects, record findings and work constructively with site teams to resolve quality issues.
You will also complete pre-handover inspections and support customer handovers, helping to ensure every home is completed to a high standard before occupation.
This is not an office-based position. Regular travel between developments throughout Shropshire will be required.

Experience and Qualifications
The successful Quality Assistant Manager should have experience within residential housebuilding as an Assistant Site Manager, Site Manager, NHBC Inspector or Building Control Inspector.
