- Interpret data and produce reports about a site’s compliance with legislation, with a view to achieving successful certification.

**The Individual**:
As a Testing Officer, you will partake in an in-depth training programme to cover all aspects of the role. This includes developing expert knowledge of standards, covering classroom theory as well as on-the-job, shadowing industry experts across different sites.
- **Full clean driving license required**
- Understanding of the construction industry, from either education (relevant degree or college course), or from previous employment
- Passionate about the construction industry, with a keen interest to learn specifically about Quality Assurance procedures
