Key accountabilities include, but are not limited to:

Working collaboratively with the Regional Quality Director, Quality team and stakeholders across the business, your responsibilities will include:

Quality Management Systems

• Support the implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of the RBG and SJ Group Quality Management System.

Project and Operational Support

• Provide practical quality advice and guidance to project and operational teams.
• Assist project teams in understanding and applying quality requirements.
• Support risk identification and quality planning activities across key projects.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to improve business processes, systems and ways of working.
• Support the implementation of quality improvement initiatives and lessons learned programs.
• Contribute to the development of quality metrics and performance reporting.

Training and Capability Development

• Deliver quality awareness sessions and support training initiatives.
• Assist employees in understanding ISO requirements, quality processes and management system expectations.
• Help foster a proactive culture of quality and continuous improvement.

Monitoring and Reporting

• Maintain quality records and management system documentation.
• Monitor quality performance indicators and prepare reports for management review.
• Assist with quality‑related communications and reporting across the business.

About You

You are a motivated quality professional who enjoys working collaboratively with technical and operational teams to achieve practical outcomes.

You will ideally possess:

• A relevant tertiary qualification in Quality, Engineering, Business or a related discipline.
• Internal Auditor qualifications and experience with ISO 9001; exposure to ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 would be advantageous.
• 2 + years’ experience in a Quality Assurance, Quality Coordinator or Quality Management Systems role.
• Experience supporting certified management systems within engineering, consulting, professional services, construction or infrastructure environments.
• Sound understanding of management system principles and ISO standards.
• Strong organisational and coordination skills with attention to detail.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to coach and influence employees at all levels of the organisation.

• Flexible and inclusive workplace culture
• Hybrid working environment
• Exposure to diverse stakeholders and projects across ANZ
• Contribute to meaningful quality initiatives that directly support project success and client satisfaction.
