Job Description Job Purpose / Overview The Quality Engineer (QE) supports the Quality Management Lead (QML) in ensuring project quality requirements are met across the full HPC project lifecycle. The role provides implementation and monitoring support and does not hold accountability for final quality decisions, which remain with the QML. Contextual Information Operating Environment The position is within Quality Delivery team in the Quality Department. The Quality Delivery Team is responsible for acting as the ‘Intelligent Customer’, in the capacity of ensuring that quality arrangements are in place and effectively implemented by the supply chain to control manufacturing activities across the HPC delivery programmes. Framework & Boundaries The delivery of Project is split across three Areas, supported by a number of transverse programmes of works to which the Quality Department provides quality related services. Quality Delivery Managers in each Area/Programme specify their needs and monitor service performance to the other department managers. For day-to-day reporting, QMLs report to the QDM. Within the Quality Delivery Team, administrative line reporting is to the Quality Delivery Manager who ensures QMLs perform and apply the appropriate processes to deliver to programme quality requirements. To keep these duties to a manageable level, the Quality Delivery Manager will be supported by a number of Team Leaders.
