ISO Consultant

Andy File Associates Limited is working as a Recruitment Agency on behalf of our client with regards to this permanent opportunity.

Our client is now looking to recruit an ISO Consultant to join their team and to be based in Sheffield.

Salary: £50,000 to £60,000 + Achievement Based Bonus & Private Health insurance.

Working Hours: Nominally 9am to 5pm for 5 days per week, flexible and overnight stays will be required from time to time

Pension: Total Contribution 8% (3% employer contribution)

Holiday: 28 days holiday pa (including stats).  You accrue an extra day after 1 year’s service and 2 year’s service.

The Business

Our Client was established to help businesses get real value from their management systems, rather than simply achieving compliance for the sake of passing an audit. They believe ISO standards should be practical tools that improve performance, reduce risk and support business growth, not just a box-ticking exercise. Working with organisations across UK, from ambitious SMEs to established industry leaders, they partner with clients to implement, certify and continually improve management systems in Quality, Environmental, Occupational Health & Safety and Information Security disciplines. Our client’s consultants work closely with business owners, directors and operational teams, taking the time to understand how each organisation operates before developing practical solutions that deliver measurable improvements. From initial gap analysis and implementation through to certification, auditing and continual improvement, we become trusted advisers who help businesses strengthen their operations, win new opportunities and achieve long-term success.

Role

Enjoy the best of both worlds. Although some of your time will be spent working from home or our Sheffield office, to allow you to plan projects, prepare audits and support clients remotely, a significant proportion will be on site with clients. This on-site portion of your time will be spent engaging directly with clients across the UK, providing hands-on consultancy, solving complex business challenges and helping organisations achieve and maintain compliance whilst improving their business processes. Occasional overnight stays will be required.

A significant part of the role is expected to involve supporting a major customer, becoming a key adviser on quality and regulatory requirements affecting their products and operations.

Responsibilities & Duties

You will be expected to lead clients becoming and maintaining ISO (or other relevant) compliance by:

• Building and embedding ISO compliant systems into their businesses
• Advising clients on setting and monitoring relevant objectives
• Carrying out and reporting internal audits
• Conducting Management Reviews with the management teams
• Engaging Certification bodies on behalf of clients
• Improving the systems through helping the business close out non-conformances

You will also be expected to cross-sell their services to existing clients and develop opportunities with new clients.

You will be expected to become proficient in all of ISO9001 (Quality), ISO14001 (Environmental), ISO27001 (Information Security) and ISO45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) and other standards as the business deems to be necessary.

Person Attributes

We're seeking someone who:

• Has experience working within a compliance, quality or management systems environment.
• Is confident engaging with everyone from shop-floor personnel to senior leaders.
• Enjoys identifying problems and implementing practical solutions.
• Is commercially aware and capable of building long-term client relationships.
• Can work independently and take ownership of their workload.
• Has strong auditing, investigation and communication skills.

You don't need to be an expert in every ISO standard from day one. We will invest heavily in your development through industry-leading training, including IRCA-approved Lead Auditor qualifications where required. You'll gain expertise across ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 45001 amongst other standards and develop into a highly respected consultant within the industry.
