About The Role
At EKFB, we’re shaping Infrastructure for a better tomorrow. All four of our partners (Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial and BAM) bring specialist expertise in the design, construction, operation, financing and maintenance of railway networks, including the construction of one of Europe’s latest high speed rail projects.
We're looking for a Quality Manager to join our North Chilterns to Aylesbury (NC2A) area on a temporary basis for 12 months. This role is based from our A41 compound which is just outside of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. Due to the remote location of the site compound, we do ask that you hold a full driving license and have access to a vehicle.
This role will require you to provide leadership (under the PjQAM) to the Quality Assurance Engineers and Administrators in the NC2A section of works. We would need you to deputise for the Project Quality Manager as required.
We'd expect you to understand and implement all quality requirements, working closely with the Construction Delivery Teams. We'll need you to promote understanding of the principles and importance of self assurance within the Construction Delivery Team too.
The role requires you to support delivery of all project related, construction phase quality assurance activities to provide comprehensive documentation adequate for use by the Handover & Completions Team. The position requires you to develop and utilise relationships with client representatives and internal stakeholders to deliver all construction related aspects of quality and assurance.
You'll need to use relevant IT systems to manage all relevant quality documentation and records. We expect you to work collaboratively with the delivery teams to plan for product realisation through inspection and test plans, Work Package plans, etc. As well as actively understand quality issues and be instrumental in finding solutions with the Construction Delivery team, the quality team and subject matter experts.
We'll need your help in supporting delivery teams in raising non-conformance reports (NCR) and associated root cause analyses and promote timely closure of NCRs. We'd like you to deliver training and awareness packages as part of a wider programme to quality and non-quality professionals.
A key part of the role is to lead continuous improvement of standards, practices and procedures in the Business Management System. As well as communicate the benefits and knowledge of the Business Management System.
We'd need you to carry out internal audits and other quality surveillance activities as required. You'll also be collating KPI data for trend analysis and monthly reporting into the client. You must actively support the Project Quality Assurance Manager in delivering the Quality Strategy and encourage and promote the “Speak Up”, “Choices” and “Right First Time” initiatives.
