Senior Quality Coordinator
Eagles Engineers · Melbourne
CoMade is a strategic partner specialising in mechanical, electrical and instrumentation solutions within the infrastructure, energy and resources and mining industries. As a project-delivery partner, their focus is on the pre-commissioning to operations phases of a project, offering rapid mobilisation of specialist resources to deliver smart solutions for an efficient and effective start-up.
CoMade’s vision is to become the foremost project delivery partner recognised for best-in-industry solutions. Strong culture and core values are what separate CoMade from the competition. They believe in building and setting a reputable culture, recognising, and rewarding their people who represent those core values either onsite, with clients, or in the local communities.
As the Senior Quality Coordinator, you'll run CoMade's Quality Management System day to day across our corporate and project work. Your goal is to ensure things are right the first time, and to meet every client, contractual and ISO 9001 requirement. You'll support project teams through our 'Design to Commissioning' approach, from tender and mobilisation through pre-commissioning, commissioning and handover. Working closely with our HSEQ Manager, you'll keep our certification in place and drive continuous improvement. Your biggest impact will be catching defects in design deliverables and subcontractor work before they reach site, which cuts rework and lifts client satisfaction. You'll be based in the office with regular site visits, and you'll guide our Document Controller on quality records and project documentation.
