Recheck the brake job. On disc brakes, there is a steel sensor that is designed to warn you when the pads are worn out. It rubs the rotor and makes a squealing sound. It may be bent and touching the rotor. Also, check to make sure the backing plate behind the rotor isn't bent and hitting the rotor.
