Position Summary
Lead the System. Certify Compliance. Enable Operational Excellence.
Join Centrus ACO-OR as a Quality Assurance Manager and serve as the steward of the Quality Management System that supports critical manufacturing, regulatory, and customer requirements. In this high-impact leadership role, you will establish and maintain the framework that ensures quality remains independent, effective, and fully integrated across the organization.
As the Quality Assurance Manager, you will own the Quality Management System, Quality Program Description, product certification process, quality training and qualification programs, and customer quality interface activities. You will provide the leadership and oversight necessary to ensure compliant operations, controlled documentation, qualified personnel, and the release of conforming products that meet customer, regulatory, and organizational requirements.
If you thrive in a highly regulated environment where quality, accountability, and independent decision-making are essential to mission success, this role offers the opportunity to influence every aspect of product quality and organizational performance.
What You Will Do
As the Quality Assurance Manager, you will lead and maintain the Quality Management System (QMS), ensuring the effectiveness of quality procedures, program documentation, governance processes, and ongoing compliance activities. You will own the Quality Program Description and maintain compliance matrices that align organizational requirements with ISO 9001, ASME NQA-1, customer commitments, and applicable regulatory standards. In this role, you will oversee all product certification activities, including Certificates of Conformance, final record reviews, data package verification, and release-to-ship authorization. You will also lead quality training and qualification programs, encompassing quality indoctrination, procedure training, inspector qualifications, auditor certifications, and special process personnel certifications.
Additionally, you will manage quality change control processes, ensuring that revisions to quality programs, procedures, and controlled documents are properly reviewed, evaluated, approved, and implemented. Serving as the primary customer quality interface, you will support audits, assessments, source surveillance activities, quality concerns, and complaint resolution efforts. You will prepare and lead Management Review activities by integrating performance metrics, audit results, corrective action status, risks, opportunities, and organizational quality objectives. The position also requires assessing the implementation and effectiveness of the QMS through documented surveillances, reviews, and compliance evaluations, while overseeing quality records management to ensure traceability, accuracy, retention, and regulatory compliance. Working closely with Manufacturing Operations, Engineering, Procurement, and other Quality organizations, you will drive quality excellence across all functions while maintaining the independence of the quality organization and promoting consistency, accountability, and a culture of continuous improvement.
