Quality Control:

• Lead efforts to resolve non-conformance issues, comply with quality standards, and drive continuous improvement across the production process.

Success Metrics:

• On-time, in-full delivery to customers.
• Radar production lead time and first-time pass rates.
• Minimising production-related quality issues (NCRs).

Competencies:

• Proven experience in production management, particularly with CEMs.
• Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to work under pressure.
• Adaptability in fast-paced environments.
• Strong leadership and communication skills.

Qualifications:

• Degree or equivalent in a relevant technical field.
