Clearance: Current or eligible for SC Clearance strongly preferred
Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Construction Quality Engineer to support a major new build project at AWE Aldermaston. This is a full-time site-based role (no hybrid working), offering the opportunity to play a key part in one of the UK's most high-profile and secure infrastructure projects.
The Role:


  • Provide quality assurance oversight during the construction and commissioning phases.

  • Act as a Clerk of Works-style presence on site, ensuring that construction and installation activities meet required standards and specifications.

  • Support mechanical systems installation and commissioning, including documentation, verification, and sign-off.

  • Engage with project engineers, contractors, and stakeholders to drive quality compliance across all build activities.

  • Assist in developing, reviewing, and maintaining quality plans, inspection test plans (ITPs), and associated documentation.


What We're Looking For:


  • Background as a mechanical AP, commissioning engineer, or clerk of works with demonstrable quality assurance experience.

  • Strong construction/site experience (not just welding or fabrication inspection).

  • Proven ability to manage and enforce standards across contractors and subcontractors.

  • Familiarity with nuclear, defence, or other highly regulated industries is highly advantageous.

  • SC Clearance is ideal; candidates must be eligible to obtain it.


Key Details:


  • Contract role based fully on-site at AWE Aldermaston.

  • Competitive rates up to 55 per hour - please only apply if you are seeking within this range.

  • Long-term project opportunity with significant scope for impact.
