  • Drive a culture of compliance without compromise and world class EHS performance at our global sites.
  • Quality Management & Continuous Improvement

  • Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure (and report) on quality performance and drive continuous improvement.
  • Lead global initiatives to enhance product quality, reduce defects, and improve customer satisfaction.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain teams to ensure quality is integrated into all processes from design to delivery.
  • Compliance & Risk Management

  • Ensure all facilities comply with local, national, and international EHS and Quality regulations.
  • Implement a robust global audit and assessment process to identify gaps, drive corrective actions, and track improvements.
