Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced and rigorous Quality Control Manager to own and lead the quality management system across our division's portfolio of utility-scale renewable energy construction projects, including Solar PV, Wind, Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), substation, and grid connection infrastructure.
This is a divisional leadership role responsible for ensuring that construction works on every project are delivered in full compliance with approved engineering designs, project specifications, applicable standards (including SANS, IEC, NRS, and ISO 9001), and contractual and client requirements. The Quality Control Manager establishes the quality framework that site teams — including Site Agents and Site Engineers — execute on the ground, and independently verifies that it is being followed.
The role operates on a dual reporting line. On site, the Quality Control Manager reports to the Construction Manager for day-to-day operational coordination, integration with the construction programme, and site-level priorities. Functionally, the Quality Control Manager reports to the Quality Director at head office, who holds the line on quality standards, methods, and assurance. This functional line preserves the independence of the quality function: quality decisions, the authority to halt non-conforming work, and the authority to withhold quality acceptance ultimately rest with the quality reporting line and cannot be overridden by site schedule or commercial pressure.
The successful candidate will be a credible, firm, and collaborative quality professional who can balance both reporting relationships — working closely and constructively with the Construction Manager and site teams while upholding the standards and independence required by the Quality Director and the divisional quality framework.
