* Establishing and maintaining a robust inspection cadence, ensuring early issue identification, backlog reduction and consistent Handover readiness
* Driving a right‑first‑time approach by identifying defects, leading corrective actions and preventing recurrence across the delivery programme
* Overseeing ITPs, witness testing and lifecycle quality assurance through construction, commissioning and asset handover
* Providing clear, data‑driven insight through reports and dashboards, highlighting trends, risks and improvement opportunities
* Translating quality performance into commercial impact, linking defects and rework to cost, programme and productivity
* Building strong relationships with project teams, SHEA, commissioning and supply chain partners to align expectations and priorities
* Championing digital and standardised quality approaches to improve consistency, efficiency and accuracy
* Creating a high‑performance, inclusive culture through visible leadership, coaching and continuous improvement
What You’ll Bring
* Significant experience leading quality assurance in complex construction or infrastructure environments, ideally within utilities or water
* Strong knowledge of quality management systems, auditing and standards such as ISO 9001
* A confident, values‑led leadership style with the ability to challenge constructively and influence at all levels
* Proven ability to use data and insight to drive better outcomes, reduce rework and protect delivery milestones
* Excellent communication skills, with the credibility to build trust across project teams, partners and stakeholders
At @one Alliance, you’ll be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking team that is shaping the future of the UK’s water infrastructure. We offer a collaborative and innovative working environment, where your expertise will be valued and your ideas will drive meaningful change.
