You’ll play a vital role in supporting the Delivery Assurance function and/or the MEHA Programme Assurance team, influencing quality at the earliest design stages through to construction and commissioning.
Key Responsibilities:
* Quality Management System (QMS) Assurance: You’ll work alongside QA Area Leads and engineers to tailor and implement an effective QMS that meets nuclear regulatory demands and the specific requirements of this high-profile new build.
* Procedure Development and Review: You’ll create, review, and continuously improve QA/QC procedures, Construction Work Packs, work instructions, and quality plans to align with project needs and strict compliance standards.
* Quality Audits and Inspections: You’ll lead audits and inspections across site activities — identifying non-conformances, driving root cause analysis, and overseeing corrective and preventive actions.
* Life Time Quality Records (LTQR): You’ll ensure the robust documentation of all quality activities for full traceability and regulatory compliance across the project lifecycle.
* Risk Management: You’ll assess potential quality and safety risks, working proactively to implement mitigation strategies that ensure delivery without compromise.
* Regulatory Compliance: You’ll maintain full alignment with nuclear regulations, codes, standards, and licensing conditions, ensuring absolute compliance throughout.
* Training and Development: You’ll support knowledge sharing across the team — delivering training sessions and promoting a proactive culture of quality awareness.
* Non-Conformance and Root Cause Analysis: You’ll lead the Non-Conformance Report (NCR) process and implement root cause investigations to identify and prevent repeat issues.
* Performance Monitoring & Reporting: You’ll track QA/QC KPIs, produce insightful reports for leadership, and recommend tangible quality improvements.
* Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs): You’ll develop ITPs and verify supporting documentation to ensure each construction activity meets rigorous quality standards.
* FME/CFSI Compliance: You’ll champion Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) and Counterfeit, Fraudulent, and Suspect Items (CFSI) controls to maintain safety and integrity.
