The National Security Inspectorate (NSI), the UK certification body covering the security, guarding and fire sectors, has appointed Clare McIntyre as security and fire systems auditor, and lead auditor for ISO 9001 in Northern Ireland.
Clare spent over 20 years in the sector within quality and operations management and system design. She previously worked for NSI approved companies, transitioning from one of the few female nominated fire alarm designers to become a fully integrated security and fire design engineer.
Richard Jenkins, NSIโs Chief Executive said: โWe are committed to recruiting auditors with practical experience, knowledge and understanding of our sector. Currently the UK has the lowest percentage of females on the engineering register in the EU, at only 7pc, therefore Clareโs appointment may also serve to embed some change in what has, traditionally, been a male dominated sector in the UK.โ
