Jason - Principal Auditor

The Story

Jason thrives on the dynamic nature of his role, which offers him the chance to work with diverse companies across various sectors. "The thing I love most about being an auditor is that no two days are the same," says Jason. "One day, I could be auditing an IT company from home, and the next, I could be on-site at a manufacturing plant, all while traveling around the UK or even internationally. It’s the variety that keeps me engaged."

Leveraging experience. Embracing change.

Jason joined DNV in 2023, bringing with him a wealth of experience from a long military background, combined with expertise in IT, telecommunications, and information security. “My military background was highly process-driven, and auditing is very similar. I like the structured, methodical approach to ensuring standards are met,” he shares. The transition from the military to auditing felt like a natural step, enabling Jason to leverage his previous experience in a new and impactful way.

Fostering trust. Delivering quality.

Working at a globally recognized company like DNV, with over 160 years of history, has had a significant impact on Jason's professional development and is one of the driving forces behind his commitment to his role. “The reputation of DNV is incredibly important to me. With such a long-standing history of excellence, it’s crucial for me to contribute to maintaining that reputation. I want to deliver the best for both the company and the customers we serve worldwide,” he says.

Impacting Industries. Making a difference.

One of the things Jason truly values is how DNV’s work impacts industries and organizations worldwide. “At the end of an audit, being able to present a certification to a client for their hard work is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. It’s a real, tangible product that makes all the effort worthwhile,” he explains.

Seizing the opportunity to learn and grow.

Since joining DNV, Jason has grown professionally by expanding his knowledge of standards such as ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 22301 (Business Continuity), and ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems). “The opportunity to work across various sectors, from IT to manufacturing, has allowed me to develop new skills and grow in ways I never anticipated. DNV offers the space to continually learn and be the best auditor I can be,” he adds.

Ultimately, Jason values DNV’s culture, which fosters professional growth while encouraging work-life flexibility. “The flexibility of working from home and traveling to different companies around the UK and the world gives me the perfect balance. It’s not just about work; it’s about a lifestyle that allows me to grow professionally while enjoying the variety of work that comes with being an auditor.”
