● HQ Liaison and Quality Alignment: Maintain a robust, proactive connection to HQ. You will serve as the central conduit for quality standards, ensuring site operations remain perfectly synced with corporate engineering expectations.
● Operational Management: Plan and coordinate daily, weekly, and yearly activities for the Quality department.
● KPI and Performance Ownership: Support warehouse, shipping, and production operations to hit monthly targets. Drive continuous improvement in safety, quality, delivery, inventory, and cost.
● Compliance and Standards: Ensure rigorous adherence to quality and regulatory guidelines, including ISO requirements and internal corporate protocols.
● Strategic Growth: Identify and implement long-term continuous improvement initiatives. Prepare and manage the departmental budget while establishing a leadership presence within the corporation.
● Team Development: Recruit, interview, hire, and train a world-class technical staff. Focus on mentoring employees to handle advanced diagnostic tasks independently.
