Lead Auditor (Multi Discipline)– Construction 

Location – South England 

You’ve laid the foundations. Now reach higher.  

If you’ve worked on infrastructure, capital, or civil projects, you have plenty of experience following construction industry regulations and legislation. Now, this is your chance to use that experience to help set standards instead. It’s an influential job with an organisation that’s renowned for making the world a safer place. 

About the role 

You’ll join LRQA Ltd, an organisation with decades of experience of helping the construction industry to embrace innovative methods and safely build the next generation of structures.  

As one of our Lead Auditors, you’ll influence safety, quality and environmental performance across a wide range of significant, complex national infrastructure and capital projects, through the delivery of management system audits.  

Essentially, the job is to undertake audits and make important certification decisions against internationally recognised management system standards, whether working independently or through your team. Of course, that can’t happen in a vacuum. It’s essential that you and your team cultivate positive relationships with clients and work collaboratively to add value. They’re depending on your clear communication and auditing expertise to keep projects progressing. 

What you can add  

People who join us as auditors come from a diverse range of backgrounds. Some have worked as site managers or in QHSE (Health & Safety) related roles. Others have come via an engineering pathway. A management systems background is always a plus.  

Maybe you’re degree qualified (or have equivalent experience) but above all you need to have first-hand experience of large, infrastructure, capital, or civil projects and a detailed understanding of the relevant legal and regulatory framework including one, or more, of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.  

You’ll need versatile communication skills too – whether that’s to build and manage positive client relationships or to make sure you deliver clear audit outcomes. 

Many of our existing auditors love the work-life balance the role allows. It’s home based, with opportunities to work remotely and travelling to sites across your region. 

There’s plenty of support from head office available
