This will be suited to you if… * You have experience in quality, compliance, assurance, or governance within engineering, manufacturing, laboratory, testing, or R&D environments. * You have practical experience implementing and maintaining ISO/IEC 17025 quality systems. * You are confident leading audits and managing accreditation activities. * You can interpret regulatory requirements and translate them into practical business solutions. * You build strong relationships and are comfortable influencing stakeholders at all levels. * You are highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to make balanced, evidence-based decisions. * You hold a degree in Engineering, Science, or a related technical discipline.
