Job Purpose

The Senior Quality Engineer (SQE) supports Client Projects operating within Matrix Multi‑Discipline Teams (MDTs) by delivering quality management and control services.

Work may take place on Client Sites or at UK and overseas subcontractor facilities.
The SQE works closely with project functions and the supply chain to ensure quality is delivered consistently—safely, efficiently, and right first time—while upholding Nuclear Safety at all times.

Acting as an embedded member of the Programme/Project, the SQE supports the application of defined quality activities to ensure consistency and compliance.

Leading surveillance activities in accordance with MIT Plans.
Ensuring appropriate controls for Quality Records and End‑of‑Reports from subcontractors.
Supporting NCR closeout, including Root Cause Analysis and preventative action deployment.
Supporting Client and subcontractor auditors by aiding prompt resolution of audit findings.
Ensuring effective participation in programme/project risk, opportunity, and lessons‑learned reviews.
Supporting investigations into quality issues.
Providing regular quality reporting covering:
- product and process quality performance;
- non‑conformance status, including root cause and repeat events;
- supply chain capability, readiness, and performance;
- quality records performance, backlog, and right‑first‑time (RFT) status.
