- This role requires a minimum of 3 days/week in the Aberdeen office
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain robust Quality Control and Assurance processes for projects.
- Ensure alignment with industry standards, company policies, and client requirements.
- Lead risk assessment and mitigations related to quality assurance.
- Monitor, review, and report on project performance against quality benchmarks.
- Engage with vendors, subcontractors, and on-site teams to deliver quality standards.
- Train and mentor team members on quality processes.
- Collaborate with project managers, engineers, and other specialists to uphold project integrity.
- Represent Costain in client meetings, audits, and quality reviews.
