Your role includes setting quality targets, monitoring project quality management, and utilising root cause analysis for resolving non-conformances and corrective actions. You’ll develop and maintain a network to handle Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and manage a team of Quality Engineers.
Who you are
As a Lead Quality Engineer, You'll have a solid background in quality- focused engineering.
Proficiency in continuous improvement tools such as 8D and a strong ability in root cause analysis are important. You should have a solid understanding of Quality Management Systems and working within regulated environments—experience in the nuclear industry is highly valued but not essential.
Strong leadership, clear communication, and a collaborative mindset are key, as you'll support and guide cross-functional teams.
