You collaborate closely with leadership, engineering, construction, and manufacturing teams-and periodically with external auditors and vendors-making decisions that keep the organization aligned with ISO 9001 principles and industry best practices. By delivering training, driving process governance, and leading continuous improvement initiatives, you help ensure every project is executed safely, consistently, and on schedule, contributing directly to project delivery and overall business success.

• Experience developing and maintaining SOPs, work instructions, process maps, forms, templates, and other controlled documentation.
• Experience leading cross-functional improvement initiatives, driving organizational compliance, and supporting multi-location operations.
• Strong working knowledge of Quality Management Systems and ISO 9001 standards, auditing, process improvement, process mapping, and document control practices.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and project management skills, with the ability to evaluate performance data and communicate recommendations effectively.
