1364 Interim-Qualitätsleiter - Hochlaufphase
Über unseren Kunden:
Our client is a PE-backed European industrial technology manufacturer operating in advanced mechanical, and precision manufacturing markets. The business serves demanding international B2B customers across industrial, defence-related, and high-performance engineered applications.
The company employs more than 700 people and operates from a substantial manufacturing base in the Czech Republic, with customer exposure across Europe and wider international defence markets.
Following a significant scale-up in defence-related orders, the business is entering an exciting phase of operational growth. To support increasing customer demand and ensure the successful expansion of manufacturing capacity, the business requires interim quality leadership to improve first-pass yield, reduce rework, optimise quality processes, and release additional capacity across the manufacturing operation.
Beschreibung des Projekts:
This is a 3-6 month interim quality transformation mandate reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer.
The Interim Quality Leader will take ownership of a large quality organisation within a complex manufacturing environment. The assignment is focused on improving first-pass yield, reducing internal quality costs, optimising inspection activities, and increasing operational throughput without compromising customer quality standards.
This is not a compliance-focused quality role. The priority is hands-on interim executive leadership that strengthens quality performance while helping the wider manufacturing organisation achieve higher output and productivity.
Zu den wichtigsten Prioritäten gehören:
- Improve first-pass yield and reduce internal rework across manufacturing operations.
- Identify and eliminate quality-related bottlenecks limiting production throughput.
- Review and optimise inspection activities, controls, and quality workflows.
- Increase productivity and effectiveness within the quality organisation.
- Strengthen quality KPIs, accountability, escalation processes, and performance management.
- Support manufacturing teams in improving process capability and operational discipline.
- Work closely with production, engineering, planning, and operational excellence teams to drive measurable business results.

- Proven experience leading quality functions within complex manufacturing environments.
