Climate17 is supporting a fast-growing UK renewable energy developer and contractor in the appointment of a Quality & Systems Manager.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership, working closely with a senior leader to take responsibility for quality, accreditations and management systems across a growing, delivery-focused business.
The role will suit someone who enjoys building structure, improving how things work and embedding a proactive, continuous improvement culture - rather than simply preparing for audits.
The role
You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders and department leads to ensure quality and systems genuinely support the business as it scales.
Key responsibilities include:
- End-to-end ownership of company accreditations and standards (including ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001, MCS, Constructionline, Ecovadis, B-Corp, HIES and Cyber Essentials via IT partners)
- Planning and leading internal audits, coordinating external audits, running management reviews and ensuring actions are closed out effectively
- Owning and developing the organisation’s work management systems, particularly Smartsheet - becoming the internal expert and improving workflows, automations and visibility
- Embedding a culture of continuous improvement, working with teams to streamline processes and prevent issues before they arise
- Maintaining document control, business continuity plans, legal registers and wider quality governance
- Overseeing training management, supplier and subcontractor onboarding and annual reviews
- Tracking KPIs across quality, health & safety, environment, customer satisfaction and non-conformances
About you
- Proven experience in a quality, systems or compliance role within a regulated environment
- Strong understanding of ISO-led management systems
- Pragmatic and commercially aware, with the confidence to influence without being overly bureaucratic
- Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and operating with a high degree of autonomy
- Industry background is flexible - candidates from renewables, utilities, construction, engineering, manufacturing or similar sectors will all be considered, provided the core skills and mindset are in place.
