Principal Accountabilities, Activities and Decisions

· Lead the continued development and implementation of effective NCR management arrangements through the project lifecycle, including but not limited to processes, procedures, work instructions, contract specifications, steering/oversight committees and working groups such as:
- Manufacturing and Site Non-Conformance procedures
- Quarantine and 'Red Work' status processes
- CALM/3DX and IT/IM SteerCos
- Materials Management
- Quality Exceptions Panels

· Lead the development of and implementation actions to resolve issues relating to the NCR process and to bring about improvements, including timely closure and reduction of NCRs across the project, and support others in these actions.
