What you'll do:

• Develop, implement, and maintain robust quality control systems specifically tailored for steel cutting and bending processes within the factory environment.
• Conduct thorough inspections and comprehensive testing of raw materials, in-process items, and finished steel components to ensure full compliance with both industry standards and specific client requirements.
• Analyse detailed quality data sets, identify emerging trends or recurring issues, and recommend effective corrective actions aimed at enhancing overall product quality as well as process efficiency.
• Collaborate closely with production teams by providing guidance and support to address any quality-related concerns while driving continuous process improvements throughout the operation.
• Ensure strict adherence to relevant international standards such as ISO 9001 along with local construction industry regulations through diligent monitoring and documentation.
• Prepare clear, accurate, and detailed quality reports alongside essential documentation required for both internal reviews and external audits.

• Maintain up-to-date records of all quality assurance activities while ensuring transparency and traceability throughout the entire production lifecycle.

What you bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Materials or related field) demonstrating a solid technical foundation relevant to steel manufacturing processes.
• Minimum of three years’ experience working in quality assurance or control within construction materials industries—ideally with direct exposure to steel manufacturing or processing environments.
• Comprehensive understanding of steel properties along with familiarity regarding standardised testing methods and key industry benchmarks such as ASTM or AISI guidelines.
• Proficiency in utilising recognised quality control tools including Six Sigma methodologies, Statistical Process Control (SPC), root cause analysis techniques, and other data-driven approaches.
• Experience implementing or maintaining compliance with internationally recognised standards like ISO 9001 as well as local construction regulations.
• Demonstrated ability to analyse complex data sets accurately while communicating findings clearly both verbally and through written reports.
• Familiarity with Cut & Bend steel processes would be considered advantageous but is not essential if you bring strong transferable skills from similar sectors.
• Excellent interpersonal skills enabling effective collaboration across diverse teams coupled with a genuine commitment to nurturing positive working relationships.
• Strong organisational abilities allowing you to manage multiple priorities simultaneously without compromising attention to detail or accuracy.
