The Senior Facility Quality Systems Specialist is a senior-level quality systems professional within Global Facilities Services (GFS) who owns facility Quality Management System (QMS) compliance across the full GFO site network, driving GFO's move toward a single, centralized quality systems standard in place of site-by-site management, and executing the concepts and priorities set by Quality Systems leadership into site- and program-level action.
