Compliance Officer

Compliance Officers ensure that an organisation’s products, services, operations and business practices comply with government standards and legislation. They are often part of the QA team, measuring compliance of the organisation’s own quality standards.

As a Compliance Officer you could be carrying out risk assessments on hazards and security risks, coordinating quality audits and safety inspections, preparing a report of product samples and QA tests, or assisting with the development of operational procedures.
