• Advancing toward N299.3 compliance and certification

Current Environment

• ISO 9001 certification is in place (excluding fabrication facility)
• Fabrication operations hold CSA W47.1 and W47.2 certifications
• CNC machining operations align with select AS9100 requirements based on customer needs
• A structured QMS exists and requires further development and alignment

Support Structure

• Experienced quality inspectors assist with day-to-day operations
• Senior leadership provides direction, guidance, and approvals

Qualifications

• Minimum 2+ years of experience managing or supporting a QMS

• Proven experience implementing and improving quality systems
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills

Compensation & Benefits

• Benefits available after 6 months
