Job Title: Construction Quality Inspector

Location: Lagos

About the Role

• Quality Control Inspectors are responsible for maintaining quality and consistent construction management practices at all our schools.

Responsibilities
What You Will Do:

• The Inspector must work in conjunction with the construction supervisors and the foremen to ensure the timeliness of project construction and completion as well as the adherence to provided specifications.
• The Inspector will report to the Construction Project Manager at headquarters. Each inspector will be in-charge of 5 to 10 sites at any given time.
• The role requires travel around Nigeria.

Requirements
What You Will Have:

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying or a related field.
• Good knowledge of current construction technology and practices.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in construction management
• Well- organized with excellent writing and oral communication skills
• Able and willing to accept feedback including instructions, corrective and positive feedback
• Able to interact with all parties onsite and be able to implement Quality policies and procedures.

You’re also:

• A detailed doer - You have a track record of getting things done. You’re organized and responsive. You take ownership of every idea you touch and execute it to a fine level of detail, setting targets, engaging others, and doing whatever it takes to get the job done. You can multi-task dozens of such projects at once and never lose sight of the details. Likely, you have some experience in a startup or social enterprise.
• A creative problem-solver - Growing any enterprise from scratch comes with massive and constant challenges. On top of that, Bridge works in often challenging, low-resource communities and runs on fees averaging just $6 a month per pupil. You need to be flexible and ready to get everything done effectively, quickly, and affordably with the materials at hand. Every dollar you spend is a dollar our customers, who live on less than $2 a day, will have to pay for.
• A customer advocate - Our customers - these families living on less than $2 a day per person – never leave your mind. You know them, get them, have shared a meal with them (or would be happy to in the future). Every decision you make considers their customer benefit, experience, and value.
• A life-long learner - You believe you can always do better. You welcome constructive criticism and provide it freely to others. You know you only get better tomorrow when others point out where you’ve missed things or failed today.

Application Closing Date
30th July, 2018.
