Experience with audits, inspections, licensing, regulatory submissions, corrective actions, and evidence management.
Experience supporting facilities, test operations, supply chains, contractors, or technical projects.
A degree or equivalent professional experience in law, engineering, compliance, business, environmental management, or a related discipline.
