• Provide functional leadership to factory Quality and HSE managers, building alignment, sharing best practices and strengthening capabilities across the network.
• Drive customer-focused quality across the product and process lifecycle, using prevention, robust problem solving and corrective actions to reduce defects, non-conformances and cost of poor quality.
• Standardize and promote QHSE processes, procedures, tools, governance and KPIs across factories, supporting consistent implementation and effective management systems.
• Monitor performance through data, analytics, audits and management reviews; identify trends, risks and gaps, and ensure actions are followed through to sustainable closure.
• Promote effective HSE risk assessment, preventive controls, incident learning and compliance with ABB requirements and applicable local regulations.
• Lead cross-functional improvement and change initiatives, communicating priorities clearly and persuasively to leaders, factory teams and other stakeholders.
