Overview
BUILDING QUALITY, CREATING CONFIDENCE
At Futures we’re committed to providing our customers with the best service possible on our mission to deliver ‘Great Places’, ‘Great Services’ and ‘Great Tomorrows’.
We’re looking for a Construction Quality Inspector to join Futures and play an important role in making sure our development projects are built safely, carefully and to the high standards our customers deserve.
This is a great opportunity for someone with practical construction experience who enjoys being on site, checking the detail and helping project teams deliver quality homes through to handover.
Working with our Senior Construction Quality Inspectors, Head of Programme Delivery, employers’ agents, contractors and project teams, you’ll support inspections across development schemes. You’ll monitor workmanship and materials, record progress and help spot issues early so they can be resolved in the right way.
You’ll carry out weekly technical inspections, snagging and handover checks, keeping accurate records and providing clear updates to the Futures scheme project manager. You’ll also support adoption and end of defects inspections, making sure outstanding items are recorded and followed up.
You’ll bring relevant practical construction experience, ideally from site supervision, inspection, clerk of works, trades or another technical role. You’ll need a Level 3 construction or built environment qualification, or equivalent experience, and an HNC or HND in Construction, Surveying or the Built Environment would be a bonus.
We know people can sometimes rule themselves out if they don’t meet every requirement. If your skills, experience and approach feel like a good match, we’d really encourage you to apply.
A few key things you’ll be doing:
- Monitor materials and workmanship to make sure schemes meet contract, drawings and agreed specifications.
- Carry out weekly technical inspections, snagging and handover checks on development projects.
- Work with contractors, employers’ agents and project teams to raise issues, share evidence and support good construction outcomes.
- Keep accurate inspection records, provide regular reports and escalate more complex technical or contract issues when needed.
- Support adoption, defects and scheme review inspections, making sure any outstanding items are recorded and followed up.
- Check building safety information, including fire safety information where relevant.
Sounds like me, so what are you offering?
If you’re successful, you’ll be joining a supportive organisation with a great culture and a real commitment to doing things well. We offer competitive benefits, opportunities to grow and develop, and the chance to help deliver safe, well built homes for the people who will live in them.
This role is 37 hours per week, paid monthly. You’ll also get 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and concessionary days at Christmas, along with private healthcare options, discount schemes and a strong focus on health and wellbeing.
