PrimeTech Design and Engineering Nigeria Ltd, the engineering design subsidiary of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, has achieved the internationally recognised ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System (QMS) certification, marking a major milestone in its drive for operational excellence and continuous improvement.
The certification confirms that the company’s quality management system complies with internationally accepted standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), demonstrating its ability to consistently deliver engineering and consultancy services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
The achievement followed more than a decade of investment in quality management. PrimeTech began strengthening its quality systems through structured internal audits in 2015 while operating under the certification framework of its parent company, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc.
As the company expanded its operations, workforce and client base, it pursued an independent certification reflecting its operational growth and maturity.
Presenting the certificate, Country Director of the German Society for the Certification of Quality Management Systems (DQS), Ogudu Lawrence, commended PrimeTech for its commitment to quality, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.
He said the certification demonstrates that the company has established the systems, structures and processes required to consistently deliver services that meet international standards and client expectations.
Lawrence, however, noted that the certification is not a one-time achievement, explaining that DQS will conduct annual surveillance audits to ensure the company continues to meet and improve on the required standards.
‘Achieving the certificate is not the end. There will be annual surveillance audits to confirm that the systems remain effective and continue to improve. The certification can be withdrawn if the required standards are no longer maintained,’ he said.
Speaking on the achievement, PrimeTech General Manager, Christian Moesmer, described the certification as a defining moment in the company’s growth.
‘This certification independently validates that our quality management system meets international standards and reflects our commitment to delivering engineering and design services with professionalism and integrity. It assures our clients that quality is the foundation of everything we do,’ he said.
PrimeTech operates a comprehensive quality management system supported by a dedicated quality team and documented operational procedures. The company has also extended quality oversight beyond engineering activities to administrative operations, human resources and project support functions, promoting a company-wide culture of quality assurance.
