Salary: £53,671 per annum plus eligibility to earn up to 5% Performance Related Bonus

Contract: Full-time, permanent

Location: Hale Village, London, N17

Newlon Housing Trust is a successful charitable housing association and one of the major providers of new affordable housing in north and east London. 

We are looking for an experienced individual to join us here at Newlon. You will be responsible for the quality control during the design and construction of capital building work, from pre-contract through handover and the defects rectification period. You will carry out on-site inspections, provide regular quality reports, identify areas for improvement and provide vital feedback, all whilst ensuring the highest standards are maintained and Newlon’s assets are maintained to reduce risk and maximise resident satisfaction.

With a keen eye for detail, you will scrutinise drawings and specifications and audit them for errors and omissions, ensuring design issues are resolved efficiently and effectively. Working in collaboration with Newlon’s Project Managers, you will ensure that designs are developed to be low maintenance and cost effective with future maintenance and service charge costs in mind.

Ideally with membership of a relevant industry body, you will have previously worked in a similar role, and have solid experience of working as a Quality Manager, Site Inspector, Clerk of Works or in a Defects based role, preferably within the housing sector. Experience of auditing design and construction information will be essential, along with the knowledge and experience to effectively inspect construction projects at all stages.
