- Experience supporting or conducting management-system audits.
- A good practical understanding of ISO standards and how their requirements translate into business processes, policies and controls.
- Experience of standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 would be particularly relevant, although experience with other recognised management-system standards will also be considered.

- Knowledge of management-system best practice.
- Strong Microsoft Office skills.
