You'll also maintain the photographic and written evidence needed to demonstrate that installations have been completed correctly. This is not a purely administrative position. You'll need to be comfortable on active construction sites, speaking with experienced installers and identifying issues before work is covered up or reaches final inspection. What You'll Be Doing Carrying out quality inspections across roofing, cladding and façade projects Checking installations against drawings, specifications and approved details Inspecting work at key stages before areas are closed up Reviewing fixings, brackets, rails, insulation, membranes and cladding systems Checking flashings, penetrations, interfaces and weathering details Producing clear photographic and written inspection records Completing quality checklists and supporting Inspection and Test Plans Identifying defects and non-conforming work Raising and tracking corrective actions Reinspecting remedial work before closing quality issues Checking materials delivered to site against project requirements Supporting product identification and traceability Working with fitters, supervisors and project teams to improve standards Supporting snagging, completion inspections and project handover Maintaining organised project quality files Helping improve QA procedures, checklists and reporting processes Supporting quality briefings and lessons-learned reviews What They're Looking For My client will consider candidates through one of three routes: Experienced Installer or Supervisor You may currently work as a: Roofing or cladding installer Rainscreen fitter Façade installer Lead Fitter Working Foreperson Cladding Supervisor Site Supervisor You'll need strong practical knowledge, the ability to interpret drawings and a reputation for caring about workmanship and detail.

You should be confident enough to challenge incorrect or poor-quality installation, but able to do so constructively and maintain a good relationship with site teams. The right person will understand that quality assurance is not simply about finding faults at the end of a project. The aim is to identify potential issues early, help teams get the installation right first time and maintain the evidence needed for inspection, handover and compliance.
