QA Manager - Dome Group

Location: Cardiff
Salary: £55,000 - £75,000 + 25 Days Annual leave or Day Rate Negotiable CIS or Ltd

About:

Dome Group are continuing to grow their presence across the UK and are looking for an experienced QA / Resident Engineer to join our team on a major development in Cardiff.

The project is a landmark hotel and live music arena development, bringing together hospitality, entertainment, and large-scale event infrastructure. With the complexity and profile of the scheme, this is an opportunity for an experienced QA professional to play a genuinely important role in the successful delivery of the project.

At Dome Group, we pride ourselves on building strong relationships with our clients, consultants, and delivery partners, while providing our people with the opportunity to work on challenging, high-profile projects alongside experienced industry professionals.

This isn't simply another site-based role. It's an opportunity to join a growing business, build your reputation on a major project, and become part of the wider Dome Group team.

The Role

As QA / Resident Engineer, you will act as a key quality and technical presence on the project, working closely with the client, consultants, contractors, and wider project team.

You'll be responsible for ensuring works are delivered to the required quality, specification, and programme, while proactively identifying issues and helping the project team achieve a successful handover.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Carrying out regular site inspections and monitoring construction and installation works
  • Ensuring works comply with approved drawings, specifications, ITPs, and relevant standards
  • Reviewing quality documentation, inspection records, test certificates, and handover information
  • Identifying defects, non-conformances, and quality issues and driving their resolution
  • Raising and managing NCRs and ensuring corrective actions are properly closed out
  • Working closely with contractors and subcontractors to maintain high standards of workmanship
  • Liaising with design, engineering, project management, and commissioning teams
  • Attending site and project meetings and providing clear updates on quality performance
  • Supporting the implementation and management of project quality plans and inspection & test plans
  • Maintaining accurate quality records throughout the project lifecycle
  • Supporting testing, commissioning, and final handover
  • Acting as a key interface between the client, consultants, and delivery teams

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
