• Provide quality input during technical bid evaluations and vendor negotiations.
• Report quality status, risks, and issues to project management and clients, ensuring transparency and timely resolution.
• Compliance and Standards:
• Ensure equipment complies with relevant industry standards, codes, and regulations (e.g., PED, ATEX, FDA for pharmaceuticals, or local regulations).
• Support regulatory inspections and client audits related to equipment procurement.
• Identify opportunities to improve quality processes and supplier performance.
• Contribute to lessons learned and quality feedback loops for future projects.
