About the role

We’re looking for a QA/QC Officer to own quality on the KGL (Jervois Copper) Project in the Northern Territory. Reporting to the Project Manager, you’ll work on site on a FIFO roster, flying out of either Darwin or Brisbane. Your job is to make sure every building and module is fabricated, transported, installed and handed over to NCC, Australian Standard and client requirements.

You’ll be the person with the confidence to call a hold point, and also the person who helps crews get it right the first time.

Key responsibilities

- Preparing and maintaining the Project Quality Management Plan and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), including hold and witness points
- Inspecting at every stage, from factory production and dispatch through receipt on site, lifting, installation, connections, weatherproofing and services interconnection
- Coordinating hold point inspections with certifiers, engineers, the client and third-party inspectors
- Verifying testing and commissioning, such as electrical, plumbing, fire systems and waterproofing flood tests
- Managing non-conformances, root cause analysis and corrective actions through to close-out
- Running internal audits of site, supplier and subcontractor processes
- Checking that building products have the right evidence of suitability, such as CodeMark certificates and certificates of conformity
- Compiling complete handover packages, including compliance certificates, warranties, O&M; manuals and as-builts
- Delivering quality inductions and toolbox talks, and reporting monthly on quality KPIs

What we’re looking for





- At least 3 years’ experience in construction, building or manufacturing quality roles
- Experience in modular, prefab or off-site construction, or on remote and mine-site projects, is highly regarded
- Strong knowledge of the NCC/BCA and relevant Australian Standards (e.g. AS 1684, AS/NZS 4600, AS 3740, AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3500)
- Hands-on experience with ITPs, hold and witness points, non-conformance management, root cause analysis and internal audits
- Experience working within an ISO 9001 quality management system is preferred
- Ability to read architectural, structural and services drawings and produce transparent inspection and handover documentation
- Confidence with digital QA and document control systems, Microsoft Office, Teams and SharePoint
- Strong attention to detail, objectivity and the confidence to address quality issues with site crews
- Ability to work a 3/1 FIFO roster from Darwin or Brisbane in a hot, remote environment, including working at heights and long periods on your feet

Essential

- White Card and current Australian driver licence
- Ability to pass a National Police Check, pre-employment medical, and drug and alcohol testing




- Ability to complete KGL site inductions
- Right to work in Australia

Advantageous

- A trade background such as carpentry
- Cert IV or Diploma in Building & Construction, or a qualification in quality, engineering or a related field
- ISO 9001 Internal or Lead Auditor certification
- Working at Heights and First Aid certificates

What we’re offering

- A landmark project. Own quality on the KGL Jervois Copper Project, one of the Northern Territory’s major mine developments. It’s a high-profile build you’ll be proud to have on your CV.
- Excellent remuneration. A highly competitive salary plus superannuation, reflecting your experience and the remote nature of the role.
- A great roster. 3 weeks on / 1 week off FIFO, with flights from Darwin or Brisbane.
- Real ownership. You’ll be the quality lead on site, with the autonomy to set the standard and the backing to enforce it.
- A great team. Work alongside experienced project managers, supervisors, designers and crews who take pride in delivering quality, every time.
- A growing company. Northern Transportables is expanding Australia-wide, with a new office in Adelaide, so there’s real opportunity to grow with us beyond this project.
- A values-driven culture. Our SPARC values (Safety, Performance, Accountability, Respect and Continuous Improvement) aren’t just words on a wall. They’re how we work every day.
- Support from day one. Full inductions, PPE supplied, and a strong focus on safety and wellbeing on site.
