Key Responsibilities

• Quality Assurance & Control:
• Oversee the implementation of quality control processes for CRGO steel production, ensuring that products meet all technical and customer specifications.
• Ensure adherence to established quality standards throughout the production process, from raw material inspection to finished product testing.
• Supervise product sampling, inspection, and testing to verify compliance with industry standards (e.g., ASTM, JIS).
• Conduct detailed inspections and assessments of CRGO coils, sheets, and electrical steel to identify any defects or deviations from quality standards.
• Process Improvement & Optimization:
• Collaborate with production teams to analyze and resolve quality issues, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions.
• Lead initiatives for continuous improvement in quality control procedures and reduce defects or non-conformance.
• Implement best practices and introduce advanced quality control tools and techniques such as SPC (Statistical Process Control), root cause analysis, and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis).
• Team Leadership & Training:
• Lead and guide a team of quality control engineers and technicians in conducting inspections, tests, and audits.
• Provide training to QC team members on quality standards, testing methods, and industry regulations.
• Develop and conduct internal audits to ensure adherence to quality standards and regulatory requirements.
• Documentation & Reporting:
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date quality control records and documentation for both internal audits and external customer requirements.
• Prepare regular quality reports, including inspection results, defect trends, and analysis of product quality, for senior management and relevant departments.
• Track key performance indicators (KPIs) for product quality, such as yield, scrap rates, and defect rates, and suggest improvement actions as needed.
• Supplier & Customer Communication:
• Interact with suppliers to ensure the quality of raw materials meets the specifications required for CRGO steel production.
• Address customer complaints or quality issues, working with relevant departments to investigate and resolve concerns in a timely manner.
• Assist the Sales and Customer Support teams by providing technical expertise related to product quality and performance.
• Compliance & Standards:
• Ensure all quality control activities comply with industry standards, regulatory guidelines, and environmental regulations.
• Keep up to date with changes in quality standards, testing methods, and regulations in the steel industry and related sectors.
• Participate in audits (internal and external) to ensure that the CRGO plant remains compliant with relevant certifications and standards (e.g., ISO 9001, TS16949).
• Product Testing and Calibration:
• Oversee and execute testing procedures for the mechanical, electrical, and physical properties of CRGO steel, including magnetic properties, thickness, and surface finish.
• Ensure that testing equipment is calibrated and maintained to meet accuracy standards.
• Conduct tests on product samples and interpret results to identify any potential non-conformities.

• Education: A bachelors degree in Engineering (Metallurgical, Mechanical, Electrical, or Material Science Engineering) or a related field. A masters degree or certifications in quality management (e.g., Six Sigma, ISO 9001) is an advantage.
• Experience: Minimum of 5-8 years of experience in quality control or quality assurance, with at least 2-3 years in a senior or supervisory role within the steel industry, ideally in a CRGO steel plant or similar manufacturing environment.
• Skills:
• In-depth knowledge of quality control methodologies, inspection techniques, and standards in steel manufacturing.
• Expertise in testing and analysis techniques specific to CRGO steel (e.g., magnetic property testing, surface finish inspections).
• Strong problem-solving skills, including experience with root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions.
• Familiarity with industry-standard testing equipment and software for quality control processes.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, specifications, and test reports.
• Strong leadership, communication, and team management skills
