• Oversee inspection, testing, and documentation to ensure full traceability and conformity
• Manage non-conformance systems, root cause analysis, and corrective actions at scale
• Lead supplier and subcontractor quality assurance, approval, and performance management
• Provide independent verification across fabrication, projects, and operational delivery
• Establish clear quality metrics, reporting, and governance for senior leadership
• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing Quality team
• Embed a culture of right-first-time, accountability, and continuous improvement

About You

• Senior Quality leadership experience within fabrication, manufacturing, or engineered project environments
• Strong working knowledge of ISO 9001 and Quality Management Systems
• Experience leading audits, certification processes, and compliance frameworks
• Proven ability to manage quality risk across operations, projects, and supply chains
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to identify and resolve systemic issues
