Your Future Role

In Bautzen, 1,200 colleagues manufacture S-Bahn, tram, and light rail vehicles, as well as high-speed trains, with a focus on final assembly, commissioning, and delivery. Our corporate functions play a key role in supporting and continuously improving the performance of our sites. You’ll report to Michael BECKER and work alongside a dedicated and enthusiastic team.

We’ll look for you to :

• Managing non-conformities, including informing suppliers, implementing securitization, and invoicing costs of non-quality (CONQ S1);
• Organizing retrofit actions and quality wall implementations when necessary;
• Securing and enforcing supplier corrective and preventive action plans;
• Driving supplier improvement roadmaps for non-performing suppliers;
• Conducting inspections for low-critical parts and ensuring control plan sustainability;
• Leading incoming inspection activities, including managing a team of inspectors and ensuring compliance with defined control plans.
