Job description

Who are LRQA

LRQA stands for dedication to clients, market firsts, and deep expertise in risk management. We've grown to become a leading global assurance provider, bringing together outstanding expertise in certification, customised assurance, cybersecurity, inspection and training.

What do we do

We help our clients negotiate a rapidly changing world, by working with them to manage and mitigate the risks they face. We serve a wide variety of industries, from food, beverage and hospitality to automotive, aerospace and transportation.

From independent third-party auditing, certification and training; to consultancy services; to real- time assurance technology; to data-driven supply chain transformation, our innovative end-to- end solutions help our clients shape their own future, rather than letting it shape them.

LRQA currently operates across 51 countries, has more than 2,500 colleagues, generates £315m in revenue, and supports more than 60,000 clients across a diverse range of sectors and markets.
