Due to the growth of the business, they need to expand their product conformity/compliance team.

It currently exists within the business, but conformity is not completely integrated into the business yet, so this is a position suited to a candidate who has great influencing skills, yet is also aware of the company's history of not having compliance heavily involved-so emotional intelligence is key here.

• Ensure CE conformity in accordance with relevant directives and standards, applying the Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 and DIN EN ISO 12100.
• Address international conformity topics in addition to CE, including UL, CCC (China Compulsory Certification), and KC (Korea Certification), using external certification bodies or support companies where necessary.
• Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering background is a big plus
• You must come from an equipment manufacturing/product engineering background
• Implement international conformity requirements for specific project needs.
• Facilitate and ensure risk assessments involving all relevant stakeholders.
• Communicate and coordinate with internal and external stakeholders, such as testing institutes, development departments, and certification bodies.
• Plan and conduct internal training sessions on conformity-related topics.
• Design and establish a global product conformity role within the corporate group environment.
