What is a Quality & Customer Care Executive?
When a new home is built, there is a critical period between the contractor finishing construction and a resident moving in. This role sits at the heart of that process.
You and the wider Conductor CX team will be responsible for ensuring new homes are delivered to the standard they should be, inspecting apartments, managing issues, keeping systems up to date, holding contractors to account, and making sure residents receive clear, consistent communication throughout.
It is a hands-on, site-based role that combines quality assurance, customer service and operational delivery, underpinned by a structured apprenticeship in quality management. No two days are the same. This role is well-suited to someone who is interested in residential property and the built environment, enjoys both process and people, and wants a career path that is grounded in doing things properly.
