What are we looking for?

This role of LTQR Engineer is great for you if:

• Experience: Demonstrable involvement in, and understanding of, Construction Assurance Packages, LTRs, LTQRs, or similar progressive assurance models on major infrastructure projects is essential. Relevant examples include HS2, Thames Tideway, and Crossrail.  Experience in nuclear or defence sectors is not required but may be advantageous
• Qualifications: PCQI / MCQI membership is desirable, along with a relevant industry qualification such as HNC/HND, NVQ Level 4 or 5, or a degree in quality, engineering, or related fields. However, practical experience is equally valued. Applicants with a vocational background in Construction Quality fields are encouraged and will be given equal consideration.

This role may also suit Section or Site Engineers looking to transition into a more quality- or certification-focused career path.
