Sandaig Engineering’s Principal Consultant has been awarded the prestigious grade of Fellow at the Chartered Institute of Quality. Fellowship at the global CQI recognises those quality professionals who have demonstrated a substantial contribution to the quality profession through their work with peers, colleagues and the CQI.
Robbie Owen said ” I am delighted to have been recognised for my work supporting the quality profession through my work and direct involvement with the CQI”.
Having graduated in 1996 with a MSC in Quality Engineering from University of the West of Scotland, Robbie has worked in the Quality Profession for 30 years and in 2018 launched his own business Sandaig Engineering.
In order to achieve CQI fellowship Robbie was required to demonstrate wide and extensive commitment to the quality profession. Robbie is a member of the CQI North East Committee with CQI and took on the He position as Chair on the Special Interest Group for Renewables and collaborating with ETZ / CQI to deliver a series of Quality Masterclasses. Further afield Robbie has also delivered Quality Workshops with Scottish Development International and the Department of Trade and Industry. He also took part in supporting development of FPAL supplier management service that helps businesses in the oil and gas industry identify and evaluate potential suppliers. and last but not least, Robbie has actively supported colleagues to develop their careers within the quality profession around the world and including Africa, Asia, and closer to home.
Sandaig Engineering were delighted to see a great turnout at the third ETZ LTD Low Carbon Quality Management-focused event ‘Quality Beyond 9001: The Risk Dimension’ today. The workshop explored risk management and leadership in conjunction with CQI | The Chartered Quality Institute Renewable SIG and the North of Scotland CQI branch.
The workshop focused on SMEs looking to become established in the low carbon supply chain and Christopher Bird CEng, MSc, FIoD, FIMechE, FAPM, FEI of Riskwell facilitated an interactive approach to living with uncertainty and making quality decisions for business success. The energy in the room was testament to the engaging group tasks delivered by Chris.
We then heard from Inch Cape Offshore Limited’s Steven McDougall & Chris Allen CQP MCQI for highlighting supply chain risk and opportunities across the developing offshore wind sector. Their insights into the ongoing challenges within the sector followed on well from Chris’s previous input.
We then heard from Sarah Stalker & Catriona Wilson of Optimus Plus (Aberdeen) Ltd, experts in the management and framing of risk. Tally Singer from CQI closed the event by underlining the need for Quality professionals to lead in order to centre quality and ensure businesses are successful in the volatile global markets.
Running a small business means you have to prioritise your time over a wide range of tasks. But building business relationships is essential and enjoyable too. We took the opportunity to touch base with some friends and business colleagues at Inch Cape wind farm in bonny Edinburgh. What Inch Cape are currently doing is truly inspirational. It’s great to see them leading the way in offshore wind farm projects in Scotland.
