  • Coordinate with project managers, engineers, contractors, and suppliers to resolve quality-related issues promptly.
  • Facilitate training programs and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Ensure strict adherence to HSE policies and regulatory requirements related to quality management.
  • Identify quality risks and implement mitigation plans to prevent non-conformances and defects.
  • Manage non-conformance reports (NCRs), root cause analyses, and corrective/preventive actions.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for client quality representatives, auditors, and certification bodies.
  • Prepare and present regular quality performance reports to senior management and project stakeholders.
  • Liaise with regulatory authorities and ensure compliance with aviation and infrastructure standards.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

  • Minimum 20 years of experience in quality management within large infrastructure or airport projects.
  • Proven leadership experience overseeing multidisciplinary QA/QC teams and complex project requirements.
  • Extensive knowledge of international quality standards (ISO, ASTM, API) and aviation industry-specific requirements.
  • Strong auditing, inspection, and quality reporting skills.
  • Proficiency in quality management software and project documentation tools.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Experience in Middle East airport projects or similar large-scale infrastructure developments.
