How to contribute to our vision
This role is being created as an addition to the Quality team at the Kirchheim unter Teck site to ensure business continuity. The primary business driver is to establish a counter-shift for the existing Quality Assurance Specialist (QS-Fachkraft), enabling continuous quality oversight across production shifts. To meet this objective, the role will focus on three core areas: hands-on quality inspection of materials and finished products, management of non-conformances, and diligent quality documentation. These activities are essential for maintaining consistent product quality and compliance with standards in the distribution transformer manufacturing process. Given the focus on practical quality validation in a manufacturing setting, the ideal candidate will possess a technical vocational qualification and significant experience in quality control. The ability to work independently under limited supervision within a shift system is critical for success in this senior para-professional position.
