*Leading non-conformance management, root cause analysis, and corrective actions (8D)

*Driving assembly quality standards and continuous improvement

*Managing and improving supplier quality across a large and diverse supplier base

*Supporting compliance requirements

*Working closely with Production, QHSSE, Procurement and Supply Chain


Person

We are looking for someone with strong experience in:

*Root cause analysis and corrective action (8D)

*Process improvement and operational quality

*Supplier quality management, audits, and performance improvement
