A technically led Principal Contractor is looking to appoint an MEP Quality Assurance Manager for a new data-centre development in Greater London.
This is an urgent permanent appointment requiring someone who understands the quality, compliance and documentation standards expected across technically complex, mission-critical projects.
You will take responsibility for managing the project’s electrical quality processes, working closely with the delivery, engineering and commissioning teams to ensure installations are completed, inspected and documented to the required standards.
There may be flexibility around the salary for an exceptional candidate with directly relevant data-centre experience.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain the project Quality Management Plan.
- Prepare, review and manage inspection and test plans.
- Monitor electrical installations against approved drawings, specifications and quality standards.
- Coordinate inspections with project teams, subcontractors, consultants and the client.
- Manage inspection records, test certification and quality documentation.
- Track defects, observations and non-conformance reports through to closure.
- Carry out quality audits of subcontractors and supply-chain partners.
- Support factory acceptance testing and site acceptance testing.
- Coordinate quality requirements with the commissioning programme.
- Manage snagging, completion records and system handover documentation.
- Ensure electrical turnover packs are complete, accurate and submitted on programme.
- Produce reports covering inspections, defects, documentation and quality risks.
- Promote a strong quality culture across the project team.
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven experience as an MEP QA/QC Manager or Senior QA/QC Engineer.
- Data-centre or mission-critical project experience is essential.
- Strong electrical engineering or installation background.
- Detailed understanding of electrical inspection and testing requirements.
- Experience managing ITPs, quality plans, NCRs and technical documentation.
- Knowledge of electrical distribution, containment, switchgear and associated systems.
- Experience supporting testing, commissioning and project handover.
- Strong attention to detail and document-control capabilities.
- Confident working with clients, consultants and specialist subcontractors.
- Mechanical-only candidates are unlikely to have the required technical background.
