Quality Manager / Quality Engineer – Structural Steel
Location: London
Rate: £50 per hour – all hours paid
Contract: Approximately 3 months
Start Date: 7 September 2026
Working Pattern: 11-day fortnight
Accommodation: Hotel accommodation provided
Sector: Structural Steel / Steel Erection
The Company
The steel going up on this project is part of a major piece of London's infrastructure, with structural steel installation taking place across a large-scale construction environment.
With the work already underway, quality cannot be left until the end of the job. Every connection, measurement, piece of steel and inspection record needs to stand up to scrutiny.
That is where you come in.
This is a site-based contract for a Quality Manager / Quality Engineer who knows structural steel from the inspection side and is comfortable making sure the work being erected is right first time and properly documented when it is handed over.
The Role
You will be the quality presence on site, working closely with construction, erection, surveying and client teams to keep the steelwork moving while maintaining the required standards.
You will:
- Inspect structural steel erection against approved drawings, specifications, ITPs and quality requirements.
- Control QCPs, ITPs, inspection notifications, witness points and hold points throughout the works.
- Verify steelwork alignment, levels, plumbness, dimensional tolerances and survey information.
- Inspect bolted connections, including preloaded and non-preloaded connections, with accurate records maintained.
- Manage NCRs, observations, corrective actions and quality issues through to close-out.
- Build the quality trail behind the steelwork, including traceability records, inspection documentation and final handover dossiers.
