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.
