• Proven ability to maintain quality review logs and finding registers, including assignment of defects to responsible owners, tracking of remediation status through closure, and reporting of on-time and accuracy metrics for contractor-controllable deliverable steps.
• Experience supporting Corrective and Preventive Action programs, including fact gathering, root cause analysis support, CAPA drafting, evidence package updates, and verification of effectiveness documentation that supports external auditor engagement and Government oversight transparency.
