Who We Are:
Waldeck are an award-winning consultancy with over 25 years’ experience. We work collaboratively with clients to deliver sustainable and innovative solutions across the built environment. In 2018 Waldeck was acquired by leading recruitment firm, Morson Group.

* Ensure all documentation meets internal policies, compliance checks, and authorisation requirements.
* Review and advise on drawings, specifications, and contracts, ensuring compliance with regulations and standards.

* Monitor site progress, identify potential issues early, and report on programme performance.
* Record site visit data, including photos, weather, and workforce details, to support service delivery.
* Manage snagging, back-snagging, and handover processes to ensure contract scope and quality are achieved.
* Coordinate and resolve defects during the defect period, ensuring all documentation is complete.
* Prepare and review contract documents and reports, and support training for junior staff on documentation.
* Visit sites to assess progress, advise on payment applications, and support accurate contractor payments.
* Manage change control processes, ensuring contract changes are properly instructed and documented.
* Track and report on contract notices, instructions, and certifications such as payment notices and extensions of time.
* Check and advise on fee proposals, supporting bids and new business opportunities.
* Attend industry events and liaise with contractors and clients to support business development.
About You:
* Proven experience working as a Clerk of Works, Site Inspector, or Quality Assurance Officer on residential construction projects.
* A recognised construction-related qualification (e.g., HNC/HND, NVQ Level 4 or higher, or equivalent experience).
* Strong understanding of building regulations, and relevant health and safety legislation.
* Track record of ensuring construction work is completed to required quality standards, specifications, and timescales.
* Experience in identifying defects, snagging, and producing clear reports for project teams.
* Membership of a professional body (e.g., ICWCI, CIOB, RICS) or working towards it would be advantageous.
