The Opportunity

A major hyperscale data centre project in Finland is about to commence construction and requires a Senior Quality Manager to take ownership of quality delivery from the very start.

This role offers the opportunity to be embedded from day one, setting the quality strategy, systems and standards before work accelerates on site. The project has a minimum 18-month duration and is entering its build phase at the end of the month.

This is a senior leadership position suited to a Quality Manager who prefers building quality in upfront, rather than being brought in later to resolve defects, rework or programme risk.

Why This Role Is Different

This role exists to establish control early, not recover it later.

You will be responsible for:

Defining how quality is delivered on the project from the outset

Embedding right-first-time principles across MEP and CSA packages

Influencing delivery teams before pressure builds, rather than reacting to issues downstream

The mandate is clear: strong foundations, clear standards, and no quality drift as the project scales.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Project Manager, you will take full ownership of quality delivery across the project.

You will lead the project quality team, implement robust QA and QC systems, and work closely with package leads, subcontractors and the client to ensure quality is maintained from installation through testing, commissioning and handover.

This is a hands-on leadership role on a live hyperscale build, not a document-heavy or audit-only position.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the project quality team and manage performance and development

Develop, implement and maintain the Project Quality Plan

Establish all site-based QA and QC procedures, controls and systems

Audit quality performance continuously against agreed KPIs

Review technical specifications and develop Inspection and Test Plans

Train project teams and subcontractors on quality standards and expectations

Manage internal, external and client audits through to close-out

Chair weekly quality meetings with clients, subcontractors and suppliers

Publish clear and consistent quality metrics and reporting

Identify quality risks early and implement preventative controls

Work with package leads to enable early testing and system handover

Ensure quality documentation is controlled, accessible and consistently used

Drive a zero snags and zero rework standard at system completion
