Job description
NEOM's design quality function relies on this Senior Quality Engineer role to keep a right first time culture at the heart of design delivery across every Design Consultant and sub consultant on the programme. Strong quality technical skills in Civils and Structural, MEP, or Architectural disciplines matter here, alongside the ability to communicate clearly at every level of the organization. You will act as a focal point and subject matter expert for all design quality related matters, reviewing legislative and statutory requirements and assisting the ED Directorate in approving Design Consultants' QMS documentation. Design Consultants and their sub consultants need quality management arrangements that align fully with contracted requirements and NEOM's procedures, backed by competent resources and clear delivery plans. Auditing provides assurance to the Chief Projects Officer, and Stage Gate processes get implemented to keep design outputs consistent with what was contracted. Design non conformances get identified, investigated, and resolved jointly with Design Consultants, with corrective and preventive action plans monitored through to closure. Quality reports get produced regularly, trend analysis feeds recommendations to the ED Director and Quality Director, and corporate quality KPIs get tracked and achieved across the ED Team. Training, onboarding, and performance evaluations for the QA team also sit within this role, alongside external networking that keeps the wider programme connected to best practice.
