Introduction

Are you a highly experienced QA/QC professional with a passion for offshore and subsea cable projects? We offer an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic international team working on cutting-edge subsea cable projects, with global deployment and a real impact on the energy transition.

Your role

• Lead implementation of QA/QC procedures on projects, aligned with the integrated Quality Management System, client, legal, and certification requirements.

• Prepare project and business-unit QA/QC procedures, inspection plans, ITPs and audit schedules (internal and external).
• Perform and coordinate inspections, verifications and witnessing activities on-site to ensure compliance with industry standards and client requirements.
• Manage Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) throughout their lifecycle: investigation, root-cause analysis, corrective action and closure.
• Collate quality data, prepare project-quality reports, and contribute to continuous improvement of QA/QC standards and processes.
• Travel internationally to project sites as required.

Who are we looking for?

You are the ideal candidate if you have:

• An engineering degree (or equivalent) with quality- or QA/QC-related certification.
• Internal / Lead Auditor certification for ISO 9001.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in a quality or QA/QC role.
• Strong knowledge of ISO 9001, 10005 and 10006.
• Demonstrated experience with internal/external audits, ITPs, inspections, on-site inspections and report writing.
• Familiarity with electronic reporting and action-tracking software.
• Excellent command of English (both written and spoken). Knowledge of Dutch is a plus.
• Preferably experience in offshore energy, subsea or oil & gas projects.
• Strong communication skills, analytical mindset, attention to detail, and ability to work both independently and within a multidisciplinary project team.

What we offer

• A direct contract with a very reputable Dutch contractor.
• A challenging and international environment delivering unique subsea cable projects worldwide.
• Competitive salary and benefits, including 26 days paid holiday (full-time), holiday allowance, company pension scheme, and collective health insurance.
• A supportive community of QA/QC and SHE-Q professionals within the offshore energy division.
