Full-time

Company Description

There has never been a better time to join Utility Infrastructure as we build a team to deliver major infrastructure construction projects across the UK supporting the governments Net Zero transition targets.

A subsidiary of United Infrastructure, we provide design, construction, commissioning and maintenance services for the UK's critical energy and water infrastructure.

Working in partnership with our clients, which are the UK’s largest network owners and operators, we work on highly complex projects to deliver resilient infrastructure, meeting the needs of local communities as well as interests.

One of our key strengths lies in our ability to deliver projects nationally, but also ensuring that within each programme of work, we engage with local communities.

We do this through employing people who are representative of the local communities we work in, training and developing them to take pride in the work they do, and to be responsible for delivering leading levels of performance across our projects.

The QA/QC Manager will lead all quality assurance and quality control activities across the project lifecycle—from procurement through to commissioning and handover. This role demands a technically robust leader who can enforce quality standards, assure delivery, and ensure project compliance with regulatory and client expectations.
