Operations & Quality Manager

Swichtec Power Systems Sdn Bhd is a Malaysian-grown company with nearly 30 years of experience in DC power systems and critical backup solutions. As we continue to grow, we’re seeking a hands-on, people-first Operations & Quality Manager to lead and structure our quantity-based manufacturing setup with speed, clarity, and discipline.

You’ll be responsible for our core product lines — including 48VDC Switch Mode Rectifiers (SMRs), 30VDC Thyristor Battery Chargers, and Dual SIM Router projects with TNB — while ensuring that output is consistent, quality is maintained, and team performance is structured and accountable.

With important deadlines approaching in mid-May, this role is critical. We need a leader who knows how to prioritize, manage fast-moving tasks, and build a strong operational culture that scales.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

1. Oversee end-to-end production and quality for high-volume, quantity-based assembly operations.
2. Coordinate and execute daily plans to meet Customer Requested Delivery Dates (CRDD).
3. Enforce strong SOP compliance, factory discipline, and safety protocols.
4. Work closely with planning, QA/QC, procurement, and project teams to drive operational alignment.
5. Lead continuous improvement initiatives (5S, Kaizen, ISO 9001:2015) to enhance speed and quality.
6. Manage and mentor technicians, operators, and QA personnel.
7. Build daily routines and structures for production accountability.
8. Prioritize effectively in a high-pressure, fast-paced manufacturing environment.
9. Identify, coach, and develop team members to become future operational leaders.
10. Participate in recruitment, onboarding, and skills development to scale team capability.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have:

1. Minimum 5 years of experience in operations, production, or manufacturing leadership.
2. Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent.
3. Strong people and organizational skills — able to drive clarity, structure, and focus.
4. Experience managing output in quantity-driven assembly or manufacturing setups.
5. Proven ability to prioritize in real-time and deliver under pressure.
6. Fluent in both Bahasa Malaysia and English — verbal and written.

Nice to Have:

1. Knowledge of DC power systems, battery chargers, or telco-related manufacturing.
2. Familiarity with AutoCAD, LEAN tools, or ISO 9001:2015 standards.
3. Prior involvement in tight-timeline projects (e.g. utility clients like TNB).
