Join Our Team as a Quality Engineer!

Are you ready to make a significant impact in a collaborative and supportive environment? We’re on the lookout for a Quality Engineer to join our Royal Navy Redevelopment team based in the vibrant city of Plymouth.

Location & Hours

Location: Devonport Dockyard, Plymouth

Hours: 42.5 hours per week (some flexibility available—just let us know during our conversation!)

Important Considerations

  • We are unable to offer certificates of sponsorship for this role.
  • Due to the high-security nature of the site, candidates must hold a British Passport and will need to undergo SC level security clearance, which can take up to 8 weeks to process.

About Us

KierBAM is a dynamic Joint Venture partnership between Kier and BAM Nuttall, currently engaged in an exciting redevelopment project at a Royal Navy site in Plymouth. This is your chance to contribute to a major infrastructure project while working with a team that values collaboration and support.

Your Responsibilities

As a Quality Engineer, you will play a crucial role within the Quality Management team, ensuring the effective implementation of quality systems and maintaining the highest standards throughout the project lifecycle. Your daily tasks will include:

  • Implementing and maintaining an effective Quality Management System across all project levels.
  • Conducting internal audits and ensuring timely resolution of any findings.
  • Reviewing Inspection and Test Plans and supporting progressive sign-off through client engagement.
  • Managing the material approval process and ensuring appropriate certification is obtained.
  • Providing guidance, training, and mentoring to site teams on quality matters.

What We’re Looking For

This role is perfect for you if:

  • You hold a relevant qualification in Civil Engineering, Quality, or Construction (HNC, BSc, MSc, BEng, or MEng).
  • You have experience working with Quality Management Systems and understand their practical application.
  • You’re an excellent communicator who enjoys collaborating with diverse teams.
  • You’re detail-oriented with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • You hold or can obtain a CSCS White PQP/AQP card and SC level security clearance (British passport holders only).

Rewards and Benefits

We’re proud to offer a wide variety of benefits that you can tailor to your needs. Join us and enjoy:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development.
  • A supportive and inclusive work environment.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Kier, making our workplace diverse and inclusive is a top priority. We’re committed to continuous improvement and value the contributions of all our employees in shaping our diversity and inclusion initiatives.

As a Disability Confident employer, we ensure that a fair number of disabled applicants meeting the minimum criteria for this role will be offered an interview.

Security Clearance

Please note that due to the nature of this role, you will be required to complete a Government Security Check (SC) Clearance, which is conducted by the Cabinet Office’s United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) agency. We treat applicants with convictions on a case-by-case basis and do not discriminate based on conviction history.

We can’t wait to see your application! Join us at Kier and be part of something great!
