• Define, track, and report QMS performance metrics such as audit completion, finding closure, corrective action aging, repeat findings, document control performance, training compliance, customer feedback, and overall QMS effectiveness.
• Analyze QMS data and quality trends to identify systemic gaps, process risks, recurring nonconformities, and improvement opportunities across functions and sites.
• Partner with Operational Excellence, Continuous Improvement, and process owners to implement preventive controls, standardized work, and sustainable improvements that strengthen QMS maturity.
• Stay current on ISO standard revisions, QMS best practices, audit expectations, lean/Six Sigma methods, and industry quality requirements that may affect Integras quality system and certification readiness.

Process Owner Support, Training, and Stakeholder Collaboration

• Support process owners by clarifying QMS responsibilities, documentation expectations, audit evidence requirements, process controls, and improvement actions.
• Develop and deliver QMS awareness, documentation, audit readiness, corrective action, and process compliance training for employees, leaders, and functional quality teams.
• Support customer pre-qualification, sales, and project pursuit activities by coordinating accurate quality system responses, surveys, certifications, and controlled quality documentation.
