Adding an Assurance of Quality

From Baku via Trondheim to Brisbane, Natig Nabiyev brings Quality Management experience and qualifications to multinational construction oil and gas, pipelines, defence and HV Power Infrastructure projects to Lidiar Group.

Leveraging advanced expertise in the ISO series of standards, Natig is a certified ISO 9001/ISO 14001/18001 & AS/NZS 4801 Lead Auditor. He excels in identifying, developing, and managing the control and oversight of project documentation, systems, and processes within engineering and construction project environments.

We caught up with Natig to learn a little bit more about his approach to supporting our clients and their projects.

“Projects are inherently unique, each presenting its own set of challenges and unforeseen circumstances. Often, these challenges arise due to inadequate planning and a shortage of dedicated qualified resources, primarily caused by limited project budgets. Since all projects must adhere to specific criteria and requirements mandated by governmental authorities, clients, and organisations, it becomes imperative to meet these standards,” said Natig.

“This ensures that project deliverables align with design standards, guaranteeing the required quality to maintain the integrity of assets throughout their long-term operation.”

“Meeting these criteria is essential for ensuring that assets are delivered to a design standard, confirming their fitness for purpose under normal operational conditions. Additionally, they must be safe to operate, even in conditions that exceed the original design specifications, without negatively impacting the environment.”

It is Natig’s significant experience observing projects across various sectors and multiple countries that provides a clear picture of the impacts of a lack of planning and quality management that can cause long-term project pain.

“Over my 16 years of experience in a diverse range of projects, I have observed firsthand how inadequate planning and a lack of understanding of project quality requirements can result in substantial delays, cost overruns, client dissatisfaction, reputational damage, and missed business opportunities. These outcomes can be particularly costly for any business,” said Natig.

In an upcoming series of blogs, Natig will examine the impact and effectiveness of Quality Management and how Lidiar Group can assure quality on every project.
