About The Role
Reporting to Quality Manager, the Document Management Specialist will be responsible for managing and implementing a robust, compliant, and scalable document management ecosystem from the ground up.

This role goes beyond document control. It requires ownership of controlled information, government-owned documentation, and CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information), while driving the full adoption of a DMS system across the organization.

This is a hands-on, high-visibility role for someone who enjoys structure, governance, and making complex requirements operational and user-friendly.

Key Responsibilities
Document Management Framework & Governance

• Design, implement, and maintain a company-wide document management structure (digital and physical)
• Define and enforce document taxonomy, naming conventions, version control, approval workflows, and retention rules
• Establish document lifecycle management processes from creation to archiving and disposal
• Ensure full traceability and integrity of technical, quality, operational, and administrative internal and customer documents

DMS Implementation & Optimization

• Lead the full implementation and adoption of the Document Management System
• Support IT to configure document structures, metadata, access rights, workflows, and user roles within the DMS
• Coordinate the migration, clean-up, and structuring of legacy documents into the DMS
• Act as the primary point of contact for DMS-related processes and continuous improvement

CUI & Government-Owned Documentation

• Support the CSO in establishing and enforcing controls for CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) and government-owned documents
• Support the CSO and IT to ensure proper classification, handling, storage, access control, and retention of sensitive and customer-owned documentation
• Work closely with all departments to align document practices with contractual, regulatory, and security requirements
• Support audits and customer reviews related to information security, document control, and government programs

Regulatory Compliance & Audit Readiness

• Ensure document management practices meet aerospace regulatory and quality requirements
• Maintain audit-ready documentation at all times for internal, customer, regulatory, and certification audits
• Act as a key resource during audits, providing rapid, accurate document retrieval and explanations

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Operations, Quality, Engineering, Finance, HR, and IT to understand document workflows and constraints
• Translate regulatory and contractual requirements into practical, operational document processes
• Support departments in organizing, standardizing, and maintaining controlled documents

Change Management & Training

• Develop document control procedures, templates, and user guidelines
• Train employees on DMS usage, document classification, and compliance requirements
• Drive adoption by balancing governance, usability, and operational realities

Continuous Improvement & Scalability

• Monitor system performance, compliance risks, and user feedback
• Propose improvements to document workflows, automation, and data integrity
• Scale the document management framework as programs, customers, and regulatory requirements evolve

Your Ideal Background

• Diploma or degree in Information Management, Records Management, Quality, Business Administration, or a related field
• 2-3 years of experience in document management, document control, or quality systems in a regulated environment
• Hands-on experience implementing or optimizing a DMS (UniPoint experience would be an asset)
• Experience handling CUI, protected and classified data – government-owned, or customer-controlled documentation preferred
• Aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or MRO experience strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of document control principles, governance, and records retention
• Experience working with access controls, data classification, and audit requirements
• Comfortable working with ERP/DMS systems and cross-functional digital tools
• Builder mindset with strong ownership mentality
• High attention to detail without losing the big picture
• Strong influencing and communication skills
• Ability to navigate regulated requirements pragmatically
• Continuous improvement and problem-solving orientation
• Bilingual (French and English*).
