Governance, Safety, and Ethics

• Ensure compliance with SQPs, QSPs, the Code of Conduct, ethics training, and applicable standards; support audits and management reviews.
• Put safety and well-being above all: PPE, safe work practices, and stop-work authority in supplier facilities.
• Protect client and supplier proprietary information, including inspection data, photos, video, and scans.
• Escalate compliance, safety, integrity, and employee-relations concerns promptly, partnering with HR.

Digital Adoption and Continuous Improvement
