- Identify quality risks and improvement opportunities to reduce defects, waste, rework, and customer complaints.
- Investigate internal, customer, supplier, and process-related non-conformances using structured root-cause analysis.
- Develop, implement, and monitor corrective and preventive actions, ensuring they are completed effectively and on time.
- Maintain accurate quality records covering NCRs, inspection data, audit findings, and corrective actions.
- Work closely with production managers, engineering teams, inspectors, and suppliers to resolve quality concerns.
- Support first-article inspections, process validation, capability studies, production approvals, and inspection planning.
- Review production data, inspection reports, supplier performance, welding documentation, and quality trends.
- Support welding quality, weld-defect reduction, welder qualification records, and competency programmes.
- Improve CNC machining quality through dimensional control, measurement techniques, and process capability.
- Monitor electropolishing and surface-finishing quality, investigating defects and improving process consistency.
- Support inspection plans, calibration control, dimensional inspection, and quality documentation.
- Participate in internal, customer, supplier, and certification audits, ensuring findings are closed effectively.
- Lead and support continuous improvement projects focused on reducing the cost of poor quality, scrap, and rework.
- Promote Lean Manufacturing, structured problem-solving, and a right-first-time culture across the business.
