Are you ready to take the next step in your career as a mechanical quality assurance manager? This is an exceptional opportunity for someone with a strong mechanical or plumbing background and a proven record in site or project management.
In this role, the mechanical quality assurance manager will be responsible for ensuring the highest standards across mechanical and MEP installations on fast-paced, complex developments. Working closely with site teams, clients, and subcontractors, you'll lead the quality agenda from installation through to commissioning and handover.
We're seeking a mechanical quality assurance manager who is practical, highly organised, and committed to doing things properly. You'll conduct inspections, maintain meticulous QA documentation, and proactively identify and mitigate risks-particularly around fire safety, water systems, and compliance.
The mechanical quality assurance manager will be expected to oversee QA on multiple sites, ensuring all works meet specification, British/European standards, and programme deadlines. You'll be hands-on when required, supporting defect resolution, snagging, and client liaison.
Key Responsibilities:
Act as site lead for all mechanical QA matters, coordinating directly with site teams, contractors, and clients as the mechanical quality assurance manager.
Monitor and inspect installations, ensuring compliance with drawings, specifications, and regulatory requirements.
Maintain QA records, produce reports, and contribute to weekly updates and progress reviews in your capacity as a mechanical quality assurance manager.
Identify common points of failure and implement proactive measures to eliminate risk and drive best practices.
Provide technical support to site operatives, ensuring proper methods and tools are used at all stages of the install.
Requirements:
Proven experience in a site/project management role with a background as a mechanical or plumbing engineer-ideally stepping into a mechanical quality assurance manager role.
Minimum NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in mechanical/plumbing discipline.
At least 5 years of supervisory experience on large-scale residential or student accommodation projects.
Strong understanding of QA processes, ISO standards, and mechanical commissioning principles-skills central to a mechanical quality assurance manager.
Excellent planning, communication, and problem-solving abilities.
Flexibility to travel and lodge away during the week, as expected of a site-based mechanical quality assurance manager.
Full UK driving licence.
Desirable:
SMSTS/SSSTS, First Aid, PASMA, MEWP, Asbestos Awareness, or similar certifications.
Experience with QA platforms such as Fieldview, Aconex, or Procore, particularly beneficial for a mechanical quality assurance manager.
Awareness of sustainable practices and carbon reduction strategies.
