Sandra Vander Veer
Management Consultant
Quality Auditor
Automotive Quality Specialist
Instructor
Throughout her career, Sandra has maintained her passion for all things Quality. Having more than 25 years’ experience in industries such as Automotive, Non-Automotive Manufacturing, Shipping (transportation through the Great Lakes), and Municipal Government (drinking water quality), Sandra brings a well-rounded and practical approach to training, auditing, consulting, and implementation of management systems.
Sandra attended Niagara College and graduated in 1996 as an Industrial Engineering Technician - Quality Control. Sandra has successfully implemented, maintained and/or improved upon many Management Systems such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF 16949, and DWQMS (Drinking Water Quality Management System). She’s also held different positions within Quality, including Quality Engineer, Quality Manager, and Director of Quality sharing her experiences from these different perspectives easily and readily.
When a former Professor recommended that Sandra begin training a couple of years after graduation, she enthusiastically embraced the idea. Initially working at her Alma Mater, she created, delivered and tested the syllabus, training material and tests/exams for courses in ISO 9001 and ISO 9001 - Internal Auditor. Sandra received very positive feedback from college staff as well as participants and continues to look forward to each training opportunity.
Sandra’s expertise in delivering layered information that, at first blush, may seem complicated or not applicable cannot be overstated. Knowing her audience and adapting to each one is paramount to Sandra’s goal of leaving others with a practical understanding so that they have the confidence to move forward with their conformance or improvement initiatives.
