My global customer is looking for an experienced QMS Lead to take ownership of building and rebuilding its Integrated Management System (IMS) — bringing together Business, Safety, and Quality Management processes into one coherent, well-governed framework. This is a hands-on, build-from-scratch role for someone who knows exactly what "good" looks like when it comes to quality management systems, and who's comfortable rolling their sleeves up to get there.
The Role
- You'll be responsible for rebuilding the Integrated Management System from the ground up, pulling together fragmented documentation, processes, and ways of working into a single, structured, and audit-ready system.
- Key focus areas include:
- Rebuilding and structuring the Integrated Management System (IMS), spanning Business, Safety, and Quality Management processes
- Pulling together existing documentation from across the business, assessing what's fit for purpose and what needs reworking
- Implementing document meta-tagging and version control to bring order and traceability to the system
- Identifying, standardising, and embedding best-practice processes across the organisation
- Driving a pipeline of quality and process improvement initiatives
- Working closely with stakeholders across Business, Safety, and Operations to ensure the system reflects how the business actually works
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience building or rebuilding a QMS/IMS from scratch — this is not a "maintain what's already there" role
- Strong working knowledge of integrated management system frameworks spanning quality, business, and safety processes
- A genuine self-starter — comfortable defining their own priorities and driving initiatives independently
- Strong document control, structuring, and process-mapping skills
- Confident engaging stakeholders at all levels to gather buy-in and information
- Based in or able to relocate to the Aberdeen area
If you've built a QMS from the ground up before and want to lead that process for a new exciting customer, we'd love to hear from you.
