As Quality Manager, you will lead a high-performing quality organization aligned with Körber’s strategic goals in the design, engineering, and pre-assembly of logistics automation systems. You will be responsible for maintaining compliance with international standards, driving operational excellence, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

The role includes oversight of the Quality Management System (RIQO), supplier quality, in-house and outsourced assembly quality, and project quality via CxPlanner. A key element will be to monitor and reduce the cost of poor quality through data-driven initiatives. The position requires approximately 25% travel, and mobile working is possible as part of the role.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining and continuously improving the Quality Management System (RIQO) in compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and other relevant standards as well as customer requirements. You will monitor performance through audits, KPIs, and management reviews, and you will integrate risk-based thinking and automated workflows for non-conformance handling and corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) and: 

•    Manage supplier assurance programs and audits in close collaboration with Procurement and Engineering.

•    Qualify and develop suppliers to meet required standards.

•    Define and implement Incoming Quality Control (IQC) policies for both factory and site deliveries.

•    Take responsibility for quality in both in-house and outsourced assembly.

•    Define and enforce quality standards.

•    Apply root cause analysis and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).

•    Introduce and further develop methods such as Quality Gates, SPC, FME(C)A, and digital traceability to ensure consistently high standards.

Another important responsibility will be to measure and analyze the cost of poor quality, including external failure costs, with the aim of identifying opportunities for cost reduction and efficiency improvements. You will also ensure the effective use of CxPlanner for tracking project quality, supporting teams with documentation and analytics, and helping them resolve quality issues.

In addition, you will build and lead the quality department by defining roles, responsibilities, and processes. You will promote a strong quality culture through training initiatives and the exploration of digital tools that can enhance overall quality performance. You will also ensure compliance with CE marking, the Machinery Directive, and other applicable standards, while leading external audits and certification renewals.

Key Interfaces

As Quality Manager, you will work closely with internal and external customers, and collaborate with colleagues in Sales, Engineering, Procurement, and Project Management, as well as with Pre-Assembly and Warehouse teams.

Education, Requirements, and Qualifications

We expect you to hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Quality Management, or a related field, combined with solid experience in quality leadership within manufacturing or assembly environments. You should have in-depth knowledge of ISO standards, as well as Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. Strong leadership capabilities, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities are essential for success in this role.

Professional Skills

You bring a strategic mindset and strong decision-making skills, combined with an analytical approach and the ability to maintain a holistic overview. You are an experienced leader with a talent for stakeholder management, and you are motivated by driving process improvements and supporting operational excellence across the organization.
