The Geberit shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and have been included in the SMI (Swiss Market Index) since 2012.

Geberit's ceramics factory in Ekenäs, which started in 1969, is looking for a quality manager.

The modern and automated factory in Ekenäs manufactures 24/7-bathroom porcelain with robots, high automation and around 190 top-notch experts under the trademarks IDO, Ifö, Porsgrund and Geberit. Our factory is in the idyllic Ekenäs within walking distance of the city center.

As Quality Manager, you will play a key role in coordinating and developing measures to ensure that our production and products processes meet our customers' expectations as well as industry standards and quality requirements. You will be responsible for quality inspections (functional, dimensional and visual) and for handling complaints. You are responsible for internal and external audits and for ensuring that measures are taken carefully and appropriately.

The quality organisation trains personnel and works closely with production, product development and other stakeholders, identifying root causes of problems. You will follow the Group's quality initiatives and communicate and report on them to relevant stakeholders. You are responsible for documentation and reporting together with your team.

You act as an encouraging supervisor for a small team (3 people). You will report to the factory manager and the Group's quality organisation.

• experience from quality assurance work, preferably in an international environment
• practical experience and understanding of ISO certification
• the ability to build strong cooperation with production and other stakeholders
• the ability to communicate clearly and diplomatically; you can explain complex quality topics to different target groups
• solution-orientation; you look for practical solutions without compromising essential quality requirements and can assess risks and priorities appropriately
• analytical and structured mindset
• responsibility as well as organisational, cooperation and interaction skills
• leadership skills; as a supervisor, you will develop people through motivation, empowerment and coaching.
• a holistic view of quality, production and product standards

In your work, you will need Finnish and English. Swedish language skills are considered an advantage, as is knowledge of project management, LEAN methods and EHS (Environment, Health & Safety)

We offer you a wide range, responsible and interesting field of work in a financially sound and respected company. You will work as part of a professional, positive and conversational organization, and you will have the opportunity to develop both yourself and the operations of Geberit's quality organization.
