I was brought in to the projects department to setup and lead an internal audit program which would touch each key project manager every three years and would ensure full alignment to the document Quality Management System for project delivery. Alongside this I ensured that the documented QMS is constantly updated and improved and that the department is fully informed of changes to the QMS. Due to the success of the first year of the audit program it has been extended to include other key roles, QMS documents are reviewed and updated on a three year basis and I made steps towards increasing awareness within the department through newsletters and acting as an on site champion for the QMS.
