The Company
This organisation is established Australian engineering and construction business delivering major infrastructure and renewable energy projects. With a strong pipeline of complex energy developments, the business is continuing to invest in its project delivery and quality capability.
An opportunity now exists for an experienced Quality Manager to take ownership of quality across a significant utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and high-voltage substation project in regional NSW.

The Role
Reporting to the Project Manager, with a functional reporting line into the Senior Quality Manager, you will lead all site-based QA/QC activities across civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and high-voltage construction.

This is a hands-on project leadership role with responsibility for implementing the Project Quality Management Plan, managing ITPs and inspection activities, overseeing subcontractor and supplier quality, managing NCRs and corrective actions, and ensuring quality documentation is complete ahead of commissioning, energisation and client handover.
Working closely with construction, engineering, commissioning, OEM, client and subcontractor stakeholders, you will play a critical role in identifying quality risks early, driving accountability on site and ensuring works are delivered in accordance with approved designs, technical specifications, Australian Standards and contractual requirements.

To be successful, you will bring:

• Significant QA/QC experience across major construction or EPC projects, ideally in a Quality Manager or senior project quality leadership capacity.
• Demonstrated experience across high-voltage substation construction, including civil and electrical interfaces.
• Strong working knowledge of Project Quality Plans, ITPs, inspection and testing, NCR management, root-cause analysis, audits and quality reporting.
• Experience managing subcontractor and supplier quality within an active construction environment.
• A practical understanding of ISO 9001, relevant Australian Standards and contractual quality requirements.
• The ability to influence construction and engineering teams while confidently engaging clients, suppliers and other key project stakeholders.
• A current Australian construction White Card and driver’s licence, with the ability to work on site under the agreed DIDO/FIFO arrangement.
