Appointment of Project Managers

Answer:

There are not specific requirements in ISO 9001:2015 for appointing a project manager in an organization. The company just need to make sure that the person hired is competent to perform the tasks related to the position.

What it is a requirement in the standard is having job descriptions, which specify daily tasks and objectives of a role. Basically this job description organize and describe the responsibilities and authorities of each role and states the external qualification (e.g. engineer, architect, ect.) and internal qualification (e.g. training on a certain work procedure) needed.
