Vacancy Detail
In your daily work, you will interact with a variety of teams within the organisation (e.g. technical, procurement, manufacturing, and operational) and external organisations, such as customers, suppliers and certification bodies when required. The individual will be expected to be an advocate for implementing Quality Practice and Governance.
A typical day will include internal meetings to review quality performance, such as gathering and analysing quality performance data, inspection or audit findings, carrying out audits or inspections, stakeholder visits, interacting with people from other functions to plan the quality delivery system for their area of responsibility. Individuals will also support and develop people within and outside the Quality Function.
They work within the Quality function in Dartford under the guidance of the central Quality team.
Quality Practitioners are part of the QA/QC Job Family and the parent Technical Function, which ensures technical excellence, assurance and performance across all projects and opportunities from pre-project, early engagement and work winning through to detailed delivery. The Technical function is part of our Engineering Enterprise and is aligned with our overall strategy to maximise DFMA, Digital Engineering, and Early Engagement.
Quality Practitioners will receive the appropriate on and off the job training to allow you to become an experienced Laing O'Rourke Quality Practitioner.
