Quality
Support the delivery and maintenance of a Quality Management System aligned to ISO 9001 and drive towards certification
Promote right-first-time quality in panel build, testing, and delivery
Conduct internal audits across workshop, office, and projects
Manage non-conformances, corrective and preventative actions, and customer feedback
Ensure document control of procedures, drawings, and specifications
Support continuous improvement and project review processes
Environment
Support environmental compliance across workshop and site activities
Monitor waste, energy usage, and environmental KPIs
Ensure correct handling and disposal of electrical and hazardous waste
Promote practical sustainability initiatives
This role is primarily based at a single site in Peterborough, combining office-based work with support to a live panel build workshop, alongside occasional visits to customer sites in the UK and overseas.

Practical knowledge and application of ISO9001 with experience conducting audits and inspections
Experience reviewing and challenging risk assessments and RAMS
Ability to engage and influence engineers and technical teams in a pragmatic, practical way
Confident IT skills and experience maintaining SHEQ records, reporting, and documentation
