Looking for a position which will allow me to use my existing experience and gain new. I want to work for a company that is prepared to change to grow and not say "but that's how we have always done it". Prefer a role in Quality Assurance, providing documentation, audits, training and mentoring for staff and vendors. Prepared to travel in order to ensure products etc. are made to specification, and requirements by auditing and discussing methods, techniques, specifications and codes.
