• Liaise with Engineers, Foremen, and the QA/QC team to resolve NCRs and ensure corrective actions are implemented promptly

• Maintain accurate site records, test certificates, and quality documentation in line with project systems

• Support pre-start, progress, and quality meetings with clients and project teams

• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to enhance quality and delivery standards across the business

What We’re Looking For:

• HNC/Degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent

• Eye for detail with a proactive, collaborative attitude to site delivery

• Excellent communication and documentation skills

Package:

• £65,000 basic salary

• £5,000 car allowance

• 10% annual bonus

• £21,630 annual lodge allowance (if applicable)

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays

• Private healthcare
