Qa Manager

QA Manager

London | M&E Contractor | Perm

This is a QA role for someone who makes sure M&E installations are done right, inspected properly and documented to a standard that stands up at handover.

Our client is an established M&E contractor delivering mechanical and electrical installations across commercial fit-out, refurbishment and building services projects. They take quality seriously and want someone who can make sure it shows on every job.

The role is focused on ensuring M&E installations are completed correctly, meet project specifications and are properly inspected and documented. This is not a desk-based paperwork role. You'll be out on site, working alongside the project teams and subcontractors, and trusted to spot problems early and get them fixed.

What you'll do

Own quality across M&E installations, making sure works are completed correctly and meet project specifications, drawings and approved materials.

Carry out regular site inspections and quality checks across mechanical and electrical installations, picking up issues early rather than at handover.

Lead snagging, making sure defects are identified, tracked and closed out before they become bigger problems.

Manage ITPs (Inspection and Test Plans) and NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports) across projects, from raising through to close-out.

Make sure works are properly inspected and documented, including test records, check sheets and handover documentation.

Work closely with Project Managers, Site Managers and subcontractors to maintain quality standards on site without slowing delivery.

Challenge poor workmanship and incomplete paperwork, and give site teams clear direction on what good looks like.

Report on quality performance, recurring issues and close-out status to project and senior management.

Help drive consistent quality standards and processes across commercial fit-out, refurbishment and building services projects.

What you'll need

Experience in QA/QC within M&E building services.

Ideally worked for an M&E contractor.

A mechanical or electrical background, so you can judge the installation as well as the paperwork.

Hands-on experience with site inspections, quality checks and snagging.

Good understanding of ITPs (Inspection and Test Plans), NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports) and handover documentation.

Comfortable working with Project Managers, Site Managers and subcontractors, with the confidence to hold people to account.

A good eye for detail and a practical, site-based approach.

Why this role

You'll have genuine ownership of quality with an established M&E contractor, working across a varied mix of fit-out, refurbishment and building services projects, with the backing to set and enforce proper standards.
