- Work closely with Production, Manufacturing Engineering, Design, Supply Chain Quality, and supplier teams to resolve quality issues, unblock production constraints, and minimize impact to production schedules.
- Support concession and non-conformance workflows by maintaining accurate trackers, progressing actions, preparing inputs for review boards, and ensuring timely stakeholder follow-up.
- Contribute to continuous improvement and non-quality reduction initiatives using structured methods such as 8D, PPS, root cause analysis, FMEA, APQP, SPC, or other recognised quality approaches.
