The client organization, responsible for building and operating the UK’s High-Speed Rail network (High Speed Two), is looking for 3 Quality Managers. This role provides leadership and support on Quality to HS2’s delivery teams and the HS2 supply chain across the design and build construction projects, including 4 Major Civils, 4 New Stations, and 14 manufacture and supply Rail System Contracts. The goal is to instill a right-first-time ethos to support the safe, efficient, and compliant delivery of projects.
You will be working on a mixture of the contracts below:
£2 - 6bn main works design and build civil engineering contracts - tunnels, embankments, bridges, viaducts
£500 - 2bn New Build of Major Stations
£200 - 1bn - Rail Systems manufacture and supply - Signalling, telecoms, OHL, power, tracks
In collaboration with the Heads of Quality for the Principal Contractors on each contract, you will provide the client view and operate at a macro level, ensuring that the self-assuring principal contractors have the right processes in place to manage quality effectively. This includes focusing on trend analysis of quality performance reports to drive improvements.
Key Duties will include:
Preparation and presentation of Quality management information for senior business leaders
Approval of top-level project quality plans
Preparation and trend analysis of quality performance reports
Driving structured problem-solving and process, performance, and efficiency improvement opportunities.
The role demands a minimum of 5 years of experience in complex design and build major project quality management, working as a client, consultant, or main contractor from a Construction/Civils or System Engineering background. Rail and infrastructure (Construction) experience is preferred, but experience in manufacturing and supplying aerospace or rail systems is also acceptable.
Key Experience:
Familiarity with the NEC3 Contract environment, accustomed to managing or deploying work within NEC3 ECC quality requirements
Experience in a complex, high-volume project documentation and deliverables management environment

Two of the roles will be based in Birmingham and one in London Euston. They operate a flexible hybrid working model, working 2-3 days a week from the office (50%). There will also be some travel to the site offices of the construction sites.

London: £60,000 - £65,580 + Pension (6:12) + 25 holidays (potentially £68,859)
