• Drive resolution of top quality issues, monitor KPIs, and lead audits, ensuring adherence to Hitachi Energy’s quality framework.

• Deploy continuous improvement strategies using Lean Six Sigma and other methodologies

• Collaborate with SCM to ensure supplier quality and alignment with standards
