The role
Your strength
Quality is in your DNA. You are naturally curious and are not satisfied with merely noting a deviation. You want to know where it comes from and how it can be prevented in the future. In doing so, you work in a structured manner, record matters carefully, and know how to involve colleagues in your findings. You switch easily between different departments and feel at home in a technical production environment where quality and continuous improvement are important.
