Help shape the future of quality across Willmott Dixon.

At Willmott Dixon, we are committed to delivering brilliant buildings that perform as designed, stand the test of time for our customers and improve the lives of the people who use them.

We are looking for a forward-thinking Quality Director to provide national leadership across our business. This is a high-profile opportunity to influence how we design, construct and hand over our projects.

Reporting to the Chief Sustainability Officer, you will lead our National Product Team providing expert advice to our project teams, managing our quality systems and developing innovative approaches to continuous improvement.

This is not simply a compliance role. You will be a trusted strategic adviser, helping our people make confident decisions, and manage risk intelligently to enable delivery of high-performing solutions for our customers.

Success will come through building strong relationships across the business, using a collaborative and coaching-led approach to influence outcomes in a way that empowers teams to take ownership.

What you will do

• Provide strategic direction and translate it into national and local priorities, communicated with intent, clarity and impact.
• Lead Willmott Dixon’s customer-focused approach to quality, using risk-based and proportionate assurance to enable successful project delivery.
• Act as the strategic advisor on quality issues to the Executive Committee and Divisional Boards, providing clear insight, challenge and practical recommendations.
• Create a high-performing team that is a trusted source of expertise aligned with the wider business, empowered and collectively accountable.
• Enable fast, well-judged decisions that deliver consistently high-quality, technically robust and buildable solutions.
• Strengthen organisational capability and capacity faster than our workload grows through training, knowledge sharing, lessons learned and targeted project support.
• Own our quality policies, management systems and accreditations ensuring they are clear, proportionate, efficient and help project teams succeed rather than creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Collaborate with customers, supply chain partners, third parties and regulators to anticipate industry developments and respond effectively to change.
• Bring energy, tenacity and a growth mindset, championing innovation, new ideas and improved ways of working that simplify design and construction while enhancing quality outcomes.
