Key Responsibilities
Quality Assurance Managers generally oversee quality management systems, review project quality plans, coordinate audits, and ensure that project activities comply with applicable standards and contractual requirements. QC Managers coordinate inspection teams, monitor quality records, and follow up on non-conformances.
QC Supervisors oversee inspection and verification activities within their respective disciplines, including welding, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, and civil works. QC Inspectors examine materials, workmanship, installations, and test documentation against approved drawings, specifications, and inspection requirements.
Document Controllers maintain controlled project records, manage document submissions and revisions, and support the traceability of quality documentation. The EPM Operator role specifically identifies an EPM-related document-control function. The Quality Engineer supports quality planning and engineering compliance, while the NDT Coordinator coordinates non-destructive testing activities and associated records.
These are general role descriptions. Detailed project responsibilities should be confirmed with the recruiter.

Document-control applicants should be familiar with project documentation workflows, revision tracking, and accurate record management. Candidates applying for the QA Manager or Procurement QC Supervisor (PQCS) – Static positions must also confirm that they meet the stated UK visa requirement.
