Canada is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Design Quality Manager to lead quality assurance and control processes across major infrastructure projects, including multidisciplinary design coordination, supplier evaluations, and technical supervision. This role is crucial in ensuring that design processes and project deliverables meet or exceed industry standards, regulatory requirements, and client expectations, specifically aligned with ISO 9001:2015, CSA standards, and project-specific Design Quality Management Plans.

In this role, you will provide technical leadership for design quality across all project phases, ensuring that deliverables consistently align with Arcadis standards, client requirements, and applicable regulatory expectations. You will develop, implement, and maintain the Quality Management System (QMS) in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 and CSA standards, while promoting a culture of quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.

You will lead and support internal, external, and third‑party audits to confirm compliance with project specifications, client expectations, and industry regulations. In addition, you will evaluate supplier capability and performance to help ensure the quality and reliability of products and services delivered to the project. The role requires advanced expertise in quality control processes, auditing, and root cause analysis, as well as robust analytical skills and close attention to detail when reviewing technical documentation, identifying risks,

A central aspect of the role will be managing non‑conformance processes, including investigation, root‑cause identification, and the implementation of corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). You will oversee document control, quality record management, and traceability requirements to ensure secure, accurate, and accessible project documentation at all times. You will also maintain and update the project‑specific Design Quality Management Plan, manage change control procedures during design revisions and project modifications, and deliver technical mentorship and training that strengthens quality awareness and capability across the team.
