Job description

Remote | Full-time

Remote | Full-time
Redtree is a growing engineering consulting firm delivering design, project management, and construction support across power generation, industrial facilities, mission-critical infrastructure, and complex energy programs.
This is a builder role. You will architect and lead Redtree's quality management system across a distributed, multi-project, multi-client organization: the governance, the audit program, the corrective action discipline, and the metrics that give leadership real visibility into how we perform. Quality here is a management system that makes the firm scalable, not a checklist attached to a deliverable.

What You'll Do

• Architect and lead Redtree's quality management system, integrating engineering, project delivery, procurement, and construction support into a single governance framework
• Drive ISO 9001 alignment and certification readiness; build the internal audit program and manage external audit and client audit cycles
• Own the CAPA process end to end — root cause analysis, corrective and preventive action, closure verification, and trend analysis that prevents recurrence
• Establish quality documentation standards, procedures, and controls that hold up under client and regulatory scrutiny
• Build the quality metrics and reporting layer — KPI dashboards, nonconformance and rework trends, project quality performance — and brief firm leadership on what the data says
• Stand up supplier and subcontractor quality processes as our delivery model expands
• Partner with engineering and project leadership to embed quality checkpoints across the project lifecycle, from proposal through turnover
• Lead client-facing quality reviews, audits, and qualification processes; represent Redtree's quality position to clients and partners
• Build quality capability across the organization — training, mentorship, and a culture where accountability is owned by the delivery teams, not policed by yours
  

What You Bring

• 8+ years in quality management, with leadership experience owning a quality function — not a project QA/QC seat
• Background in AEC, EPC, energy, power, or technical engineering services — you understand how engineering and construction organizations actually deliver
• Demonstrated experience building or maturing a quality management system, not inheriting and maintaining one
• Working command of ISO 9001; exposure to ISO 45001, ISO 14001, ISO 55001, AS9100, or ISO/IEC 17025 is valuable
• Hands-on ownership of audit management, CAPA, root cause analysis, and quality documentation control
• Experience translating quality performance into metrics executives act on, and comfort presenting to firm leadership
• Track record leading through influence across distributed teams, disciplines, and geographies
• Self-directed and effective in a growing organization where the system does not exist yet
  

Valued, Not Required

• ISO 9001 Lead Auditor certification
• Lean Six Sigma Black Belt or equivalent continuous improvement credential
• PE license and familiarity with engineering discipline codes and standards
• Experience with quality and reporting platforms — Power BI, Appian, Qualtrics, or similar
• Supplier quality or contract manufacturing quality experience
• Multi-country or multi-site quality program experience
  

Why Redtree

Redtree is part of CSI's global network, delivering engineering across power generation, industrial infrastructure, renewables, and mission-critical facilities. We are scaling, and quality is what makes that scale credible to our clients. This role reports to firm leadership and owns the function outright — you will build it the way it should be built.
