**Role Summary**
Design and implement an ISO 9001‑ready Quality Management System (QMS) for data‑centre development from origin to handover, aligning with parallel ISO 27001 workstreams. Build policies, SOPs, governance, documentation, and audit‑readiness tools in a pragmatic, ground‑up manner.
**Expectations**
* Deliver a comprehensive gap assessment and closure plan for ISO 9001 compliance.
* Produce a policy hierarchy, SOPs, work instructions, templates, and forms custom to data‑centre development.
* Establish stage‑gate governance, RACI matrices, approvals, change control, and a non‑conformance‑CAPA process.
* Create a technology mapping of record locations and access rights (SharePoint, Procore, Aconex, Yardi).
* Compile audit‑readiness evidence and prepare training packs for BAU handover.
* Complete all deliverables within a 3‑month engagement.
**Key Responsibilities**
1. Conduct ISO 9001 gap analysis across the entire development lifecycle.
2. Draft and finalize QMS documentation (policy hierarchy, SOPs, work instructions, forms).
3. Design stage‑gate governance framework (decision rights, RACI, approvals).
4. Implement document control procedures (single source of truth, ownership, versioning, retention).
5. Establish non‑conformance & CAPA process; run pilot tests.
6. Map technology stack and record locations; define roles, permissions, evidence capture.
7. Produce training material, quick‑start guides, and handover documentation.
8. Provide audit‑readiness evidence for ISO 9001 pre‑assessment.
9. Coordinate with UK‑based development, engineering, corporate teams, external consultants, and fund administrators.
10. Liaise with international IT colleagues for tooling and audit trails.
**Required Skills**
* Practical experience building ISO 9001 QMS from scratch (implementation, not necessarily audit status).
* Strong policy & procedure authoring and process design.
* Systems thinking and governance modeling.
* Excellent stakeholder facilitation and concise written communication.
* Familiarity with Yardi (job cost, commitments, change orders) and/or Procore, Aconex, SharePoint is a plus.
* Business‑analysis and project‑management capabilities.
**Required Education & Certifications**
* Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Information Systems or related discipline.
* ISO 9001 Lead Implementer or similar certification preferred (auditor status not required).
