An opportunity for a hands-on Document Controller / Records Management specialist to establish and develop document control practices within a highly regulated, safety-critical environment.

We're looking for someone who understands that effective records management is about more than filing documents. It's about creating structure, maintaining control, ensuring information is accessible and accurate, and building processes that stand up to scrutiny.

Working within the aviation industry, you'll play an important role in developing and maintaining the frameworks, systems and processes that support operational integrity, compliance and safety.

The Role

- This is a hands-on role with genuine scope to make your mark. You'll have the opportunity to build, improve and embed document control and records management practices, bringing consistency, accountability and control to how information is created, stored, maintained and accessed.
- Develop and implement document control and records management procedures, standards and processes.
- Establish a structured approach to document registers, version control, approvals, distribution, retention and archiving.
- Manage controlled documents, technical records, policies, procedures and operational documentation.
- Ensure records are accurate, traceable, accessible and maintained in accordance with regulatory and business requirements.
- Establish clear workflows and governance around document creation, review, approval and change management.
- Support audit readiness, compliance activities and the retrieval of records for internal and external reviews.




- Work with operational and business stakeholders to improve document management practices and drive consistent adoption.
- Identifying gaps, improving processes and ensuring the integrity of critical business records.

About You

- A Document Control or Records Management professional who enjoys bringing order, structure and consistency to complex environments.
- You're comfortable working with detail, understand the importance of document integrity and can take ownership of developing processes rather than simply maintaining an existing system.
- Experience in document control, records management, information management or a closely related discipline.
- A sound understanding of document lifecycle management, version control, retention, traceability and governance.
- Experience working in a highly regulated, safety-critical or compliance-driven setting.
- The ability to develop and implement document control processes, systems and standards.
- Strong organisational skills and exceptional attention to detail.
- Confidence engaging with stakeholders and influencing good document management practices.
- A practical, proactive approach and the ability to work independently.
- Experience in aviation, defence, rail, engineering, infrastructure, utilities or similar regulated industries will be highly regarded.

The Opportunity

- This is an opportunity to take ownership of a critical business function in a greenfield environment.
- You'll have the scope to build something meaningful, introduce better ways of working and establish yourself as the go-to person for document control and records management.
