Aligned with EA Code 28, this Lead Auditor role focuses on organisations within the construction and civil engineering sector. You'll draw on your practical industry experience to audit clients across the built environment – including contractors, developers and utilities companies.

  • Civil engineering – roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, harbours and airfields
  • Specialist trades – foundations, concrete, bricklaying, scaffolding, roofing and steel erection
  • Building services – plumbing, HVAC, electrical and alarm systems, sprinklers and lifts
  • Finishing trades – plastering, painting, tiling, glazing, insulation and carpentry
  • Infrastructure and utilities – pipelines, sewerage, power distribution and irrigation
  • Demolition and groundwork
No two audits are the same – you'll gain exposure to a wide range of clients, projects and environments.

What you'll need to be successful You'll bring hands-on experience from construction or civil engineering and understand how sites and projects run day-to-day. Clear communication, good analytical skills and precise report writing are key, along with a professional and methodical approach.

You'll also be comfortable with regional and national travel (including occasional overnight stays) and hold a full UK driving licence. Your integrity, technical knowledge and ability to deliver clear, high-quality audit reports will help you thrive in this role.
