Amazing infrastructure isn’t the only thing that gets built here. Incredible careers do too. Join Beatty’s Power Transmission & Distribution team as a Quality Advisor in Scotland and help deliver critical infrastructure that powers communities across the region.

Working closely with project teams and the supply chain, you will support the effective implementation of Quality procedures, review supply chain submissions and assist with establishing Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) to support successful delivery of the works.
What you'll do
- Attend pre-start meetings for significant projects, including those with complex or specific QA/QC requirements.
- Support project teams in developing and implementing Quality Plans and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), ensuring customer and project requirements are met.
- Review Quality Plans and ITPs produced by the supply chain and provide appropriate Quality guidance and support.
- Work closely with delivery teams to achieve required quality deliverables, identifying and supporting the resolution of issues as they arise.
- Establish and agree sample and benchmark plans with customers and supply chain partners using existing systems and processes.
- Use digital systems to monitor quality planning, deliverables and issue management against agreed targets.
- Support the collation and timely delivery of handover records in line with customer requirements.
- Work in accordance with the processes and procedures set out within the Business Management System.
- Support the Quality team with internal and external audits.
- Assist with the implementation of project or business stream Quality strategies, plans and actions across the full project lifecycle.

- Support investigations and reporting relating to Quality issues where required.
- Promote and support the effective use of digital tools for project governance and Quality Assurance, including providing training where appropriate.
- Live the Balfour Beatty Values, maintaining a relentless focus on Zero Harm and Right First Time.
