• Promote a culture of continuous improvement, team collaboration, and long-term strategic thinking
• Train, mentor, and support internal teams to uphold high compliance and safety standards
• Analyse performance data and apply quality tools such as SPC, PFMEA, PPAP, 8D, Pareto, etc.
• Work in close cooperation with Group QHSE functions and contribute to wider company initiatives.
