ISO & Compliance Coordinator - #2191501

Andy File Associates Limited is working as a Recruitment Agency on behalf of our client with regards to this permanent part- time position.

Part-Time ISO & Compliance Coordinator

Location: Sheffield, S3 (Kelham Island area)
Hours: 7.5 hours per week – one full day or two mornings
Salary: £20 per hour, depending on experience
Employment Type: Permanent part-time or contract basis considered

The Opportunity

Our client is an established manufacturing business based in Sheffield, employing approximately 30 people. The company manufactures specialist machine parts for the food processing industry, alongside precision and decorative metal components.

The business currently operates established ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems and is looking to appoint a part-time ISO & Compliance Coordinator to take responsibility for maintaining these systems and ensuring that all associated audits, checks, records and procedures remain up to date.

This opportunity has arisen due to the forthcoming retirement of the person currently overseeing these responsibilities at the end of the year. A handover will be provided by two existing members of the team to ensure a smooth transition.

The position would suit an organised, proactive individual who has practical experience of both ISO standards and is confident working independently to maintain compliance within a small manufacturing business.

Key Responsibilities

ISO Quality & Environmental Management

• Maintain the company's existing ISO 9001 Quality Management System and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.
• Ensure policies, procedures, documentation and records remain accurate and up to date.
• Plan and carry out internal audits against both ISO standards.
• Record audit findings, identify non-conformances and ensure corrective actions are followed through.
• Prepare for and support external certification and surveillance audits.
• Monitor compliance with relevant quality and environmental requirements.
• Maintain audit schedules and support ongoing improvement of the management systems.

Health, Safety & Premises Compliance

• Coordinate routine fire alarm testing and fire door checks, ensuring records are maintained.
• Monitor water hygiene checks and associated compliance records.
• Arrange and liaise with external contractors for specialist inspections, servicing and maintenance.
• Monitor recycling arrangements and environmental responsibilities.
• Maintain inspection schedules and ensure any outstanding actions are followed up.

General Administration

• Maintain accurate compliance documentation, checklists and records.
• Keep track of key dates, inspections, renewals and audit requirements.
• Liaise with colleagues, management and external providers to ensure compliance activities are completed.
• Provide management with updates on outstanding actions and any areas requiring attention.

The Ideal Candidate

• Previous hands-on experience maintaining ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems.
• Experience conducting internal audits against both standards.
• Good understanding of quality and environmental compliance requirements.
• Strong organisational and administrative skills, with excellent attention to detail.
• Able to manage their own workload and work independently.
• Confident identifying issues, following up actions and maintaining accurate records.
• Good communication skills and the ability to liaise with colleagues and external contractors.
• Experience using Citation compliance systems would be beneficial but is not essential.

An internal auditor qualification or relevant ISO training would also be advantageous.

Previous experience within manufacturing or engineering would be beneficial but is not essential. The key requirement is practical experience of maintaining both ISO standards and the ability to keep the company's existing systems running effectively.

Working Arrangements

The position is for approximately 7.5 hours per week, which can be worked as one full day or split over two mornings by agreement.

Our client is open to considering either a permanent part-time employee or an individual working on a contract basis.
