• Support product development teams in assessing certification impacts for new or modified designs
• Actively contribute to a safe, collaborative, and compliant working environment
• Ensure compliance with federal, state, local, and corporate governance requirements, AADG policies, and the ASSA ABLOY Code of Conduct

The skills and experience you bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Quality Assurance, Engineering, or a related technical field
• 3–5 years of experience in compliance, quality systems, or certification management within building products, construction materials, or a related manufacturing environment
