QA Engineer (Multi-site / Roving) | Perm | £55k–£75k NEG DOE | Midlands & South
Kingdom Search Limited is recruiting on behalf of a well-established Tier 2 main contractor with a strong presence across the Midlands and the South of England. Operating across the industrial, commercial and motor retail sectors, our client delivers steel frame and fit-out schemes for a range of high-profile end users and has a proven track record of repeat-order business built on quality, programme delivery and client relationships.
Due to an internal succession, they are now looking to appoint a Multi-Site QA Engineer to join the business on a permanent basis.
The Role
This is a roving, autonomous position covering multiple live projects simultaneously — primarily across the Midlands and the South. You will be the quality assurance lead across the business's active schemes, moving between sites every few days as the programme demands.
Key responsibilities will include:
Full QA responsibility across the complete project lifecycle on all active schemes
Foundations, drainage, steel frame checks and general installation quality
Working through the business's internal QA and crew book processes
Liaising with site teams, managers and supply chain to ensure right-first-time delivery
Maintaining accurate QA documentation and records across all sites This is not a full setting out role — the focus is purely on quality assurance. The successful candidate will be trusted to manage their own schedule and movements with a high degree of autonomy.
Please note: the ability and genuine willingness to travel across the Midlands and South, and to lodge away from home typically 1–2 nights per week (occasionally more at peak periods), is essential for this role. Candidates who are not able to commit to this travel requirement need not apply.
The Person
Our client is genuinely open to a range of backgrounds and experience levels — the salary bracket reflects this:
Setting out or site engineering background essential
Steel frame and/or groundworks experience highly beneficial
Some QA exposure is advantageous but not essential — engineers looking to transition into a more QA-focused role will be considered
Strong attention to detail and a methodical, process-driven approach
Comfortable working autonomously across multiple locations
Must be able to provide verifiable work references
Must have the right to work in the UK Salary is £55,000–£75,000 negotiable and genuinely dependent on experience — if you are at an earlier stage of your QA career, this role is still very much worth a conversation.
