Sub M is just one thing
46 CFR 139.130(b) Auditors must meet the following qualifications
(3) Successful completion of an ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9001-2000 or ISO 9001:2008(E) (incorporated by reference, see § 136.112 of this subchapter) lead auditor/assessor course or Coast Guard recognized equivalent.
There are a plenty of companies out there whether it is SubM, ISM or other that use outside parties to conduct their annual internal audits. I know people who get over $2000 a pop for one days work.
If you can get the work it actually can be quite lucrative.
