Job Description

Are you ready to lead quality assurance on one of the UK's most significant renewable energy construction projects, helping to deliver large-scale solar, battery storage and grid infrastructure that will support a net zero future?

At EDF power solutions, we're helping to power the UK's transition to a low-carbon future through the delivery of Longfield Solar Farm, one of the country's flagship renewable energy projects. Longfield combines large-scale solar generation, battery energy storage and associated grid infrastructure, with the capacity to generate enough clean electricity to power more than 96,000 homes every year, while also delivering meaningful biodiversity enhancements across the site. See details here: www.edf-powersolutions.uk/our-sites/longfield/

As a Construction Quality Manager, you'll play a key role in ensuring our major construction partners deliver to the highest quality standards. Your work will directly support the safe and reliable delivery of this landmark renewable energy project from pre-construction through to commissioning and commercial operation.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to take ownership of quality management across a complex infrastructure project that includes large-scale solar PV, battery energy storage and a 400kV substation. The Longfield project forms an important part of the UK's journey towards net zero and represents one of the most significant solar developments in EDF's UK portfolio.

You'll shape project quality arrangements, influence contractors and suppliers, and help drive excellence throughout the construction lifecycle. Working on a high-profile project backed by EDF's extensive global renewable energy expertise, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to infrastructure that will provide clean, secure energy for decades to come.

Location

Alongside a competitive salary and annual bonus opportunity, this role offers a hybrid working arrangement initially, with regular project meetings in our London office, providing the opportunity to collaborate closely with key stakeholders and delivery teams. From 2027, you'll transition to a full time, site-based role in Chelmsford, Essex, supporting the construction phase of this landmark project.

You'll lead a small team of quality engineers while working alongside procurement, engineering and construction specialists. From manufacturing inspections through to commissioning activities, you'll have a visible impact on project success while supporting continuous improvement across our quality assurance and quality control processes.

With technologies spanning onshore and offshore wind, solar, battery storage and green hydrogen, we're the UK & Ireland's most diverse renewable generator. By 2035, we aim to deliver 10GW of low-carbon energy - and we'd love you to help us get there.
