The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced QA Manager to oversee quality assurance and quality control on a major roofing and cladding project in Dunbar, Scotland.

Our client specialises in industrial and commercial roofing, cladding and wider building envelope solutions, delivering a range of new-build, refurbishment and replacement projects across the UK. Their expertise includes profiled metal roofing and cladding, composite panels, standing seam systems, single-ply membranes, rainscreen cladding and wider façade installations.

This is an excellent opportunity for a quality-focused professional with a strong background in construction QA/QC, ideally gained within roofing, cladding, façade or building envelope projects.

The successful candidate will be based full-time on site in Dunbar, taking responsibility for implementing, monitoring and maintaining quality standards throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring all works are completed in accordance with project specifications, drawings, relevant standards and client requirements.

Key Responsibilities

*

Develop, implement and manage the project Quality Assurance Plan and associated quality procedures.
*

Oversee all aspects of quality assurance and quality control across site operations.
*

*

Ensure roofing, cladding and associated building envelope installations are completed in accordance with approved drawings, specifications and manufacturer requirements.
*

Prepare, review and maintain Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), Inspection Checklists and quality documentation.
*

Monitor workmanship, materials and installation processes, identifying potential quality issues before they impact project delivery.
*

Raise, manage and close out Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), ensuring corrective and preventative actions are implemented.
*

Maintain accurate QA records, inspection reports, photographic evidence and quality documentation.
*

Liaise closely with Site Managers, Project Managers, subcontractors, suppliers, clients and external consultants on all quality-related matters.
*

Coordinate and oversee quality inspections, hold points, testing and sign-off procedures.
*

Ensure all materials and products delivered to site comply with approved specifications and technical requirements.
*

Monitor quality performance across installation teams and subcontractors, promoting a proactive quality culture.
*

Support the project team through completion, snagging, final inspections and handover, ensuring all quality documentation is completed and available.

Candidate Requirements

*

Proven experience working in a QA Manager, Quality Manager or Senior QA/QC role within the construction industry.
*

Strong knowledge and understanding of quality assurance and quality control processes within construction.
*

Ideally experienced in industrial roofing, cladding, façade or wider building envelope projects.
*

Experience managing quality on large-scale construction or specialist subcontracting projects.
*

Strong understanding of technical specifications, construction drawings, inspection procedures and quality standards.
*

Experience producing and managing Quality Plans, ITPs, NCRs, inspection reports and associated QA documentation.
*

Confident carrying out site inspections, identifying defects and driving corrective actions through to completion.
*

Strong communication and organisational skills, with the ability to engage effectively with site teams, management and clients.
*

A proactive and methodical approach, with excellent attention to detail.
*

Ability and willingness to work full-time on site in Dunbar, Scotland.

Desirable Experience

*

Previous experience with industrial roofing and cladding systems, including profiled metal sheeting, composite panels, standing seam and single-ply roofing.
*

Knowledge of ISO 9001 quality management systems and relevant construction standards.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a hands-on, technically capable QA professional who can take ownership of quality management on a live construction project.

While experience within roofing and cladding would be highly advantageous, candidates with a strong QA background in other relevant construction disciplines, particularly façade, external envelope or specialist building works, will also be considered.

The successful candidate must be comfortable working entirely site-based in Dunbar and taking a proactive approach to maintaining the highest standards of workmanship, compliance and project quality.
