QA Manager
Leeds and Manchester
I'm working with a well-established contractor with an excellent reputation for delivering large-scale residential and mixed-use developments across the UK. Due to continued growth, they're looking to appoint a Quality Assurance Manager to oversee projects across Manchester and Leeds.
This is a regional role where you'll work closely with operational teams, ensuring quality standards are maintained from pre-construction through to handover while helping embed a genuine "right first time" culture across every project.
You'll take ownership of the company's Quality Management System (QMS) across several live projects, supporting project teams, carrying out audits, delivering training and ensuring compliance with company procedures, Building Regulations and the latest Building Safety legislation.
Working closely with site teams, subcontractors and senior management, you'll play a key role in maintaining quality standards while identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
Responsibilities
Support the implementation and ongoing management of the company's Quality Management System across multiple projects.
Work with project teams to ensure quality procedures are fully understood and consistently applied.
Review and support Project Quality Management Plans, Contractor Quality Plans and Inspection & Test Plans.

Carry out regular quality audits across live construction sites, producing clear reports and ensuring actions are closed out.
Monitor project quality reviews, inspections and compliance activities.
Escalate recurring quality concerns and support project teams in implementing corrective actions.
Promote a proactive quality culture with a strong focus on delivering work right first time.
Support lessons learnt workshops and continuous improvement initiatives across the business.
Manage and monitor digital QA records using systems including FieldView and Viewpoint for Projects.
Ensure projects are correctly configured within digital QA platforms and that inspection records are maintained to the required standard.
Provide ongoing support and training to project teams using digital quality systems.
Build strong working relationships with project teams, subcontractors, consultants and manufacturers to drive consistent quality standards.About You
