Main Purpose Of The Role

- Support shop-floor teams to resolve quality issues in real-time (on-site investigations and workshops).
- Coordinate and manage audits (internal & external), monitor progress plans, and ensure timely closure of findings.
- Participate in quality reviews and prepare reports for customers and authorities.
- Implement quality tools and methodologies (8D, FMEA, Ishikawa, QRQC) to reinforce process robustness.
- Train and raise awareness among staff on quality standards and best practices
Here’s What You’ll Need
- Bachelor’s degree in quality, industrial, engineering physics, computer science, technical discipline or equivalent.
- Minimum 3–5 years in an industrial environment (aerospace, automotive, or similar).

- Proven track record in non-conformance management and RCA techniques.
- Knowledge of quality standards and certifications (e.g., AS9100, EN9100, ISO standards).
