WHO ARE ILOS?
ILOS is a fast-growing renewable energy company with a strong presence across Europe, backed by BNP Paribas Alts and committed to accelerating the energy transition. Since 2018, we have developed, built, and operated large-scale solar PV projects across seven core markets.
THE ROLE OVERVIEW
As Lead Construction Quality Manager, you will lead and scale the quality management system across ILOS’ portfolio of utility-scale solar PV and BESS construction projects in Europe.
This is a senior role with responsibility for quality strategy, governance and delivery across multiple live construction sites. You will ensure standards are applied consistently, defects are prevented, and contractors are held accountable for delivering high-quality assets.
Acting as the central quality lead within the construction organisation, you will also drive standardisation, continuous improvement and cross-project learning, while supporting and developing project-based quality teams.

- Define and implement standard QA/QC procedures, ITPs, checklists and reporting frameworks across all projects.
- Oversee quality performance across multiple solar PV and BESS construction sites in different European markets.
- Ensure robust site quality assurance across key scopes including civil works, ramming, mounting structures, and PV module installation.
- Drive NCR management, defect tracking, snagging and punch-list closure, including root cause analysis and corrective actions.
- Act as the senior quality interface for EPC contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, challenging poor-quality delivery where required.
- Monitor quality KPIs, digital QA tools and reporting to identify recurring issues, trends and improvement opportunities.
- Support project handover readiness, ensuring quality documentation, as-builts, and test records are complete and accurate.
- Lead, mentor and develop project-level quality managers, QA/QC engineers and site inspectors.
