Could you be the full-time VIE - Project Quality and Safety Manager (f/m/d) in Bautzen we’re looking for?

Your Future Role

In Bautzen, 1,200 colleagues manufacture S-Bahn, tram, and light rail vehicles, as well as high-speed trains, with a focus on final assembly, commissioning, and delivery. Our corporate functions play a key role in supporting and continuously improving the performance of our sites. You’ll report to Michael BECKER and work alongside a dedicated and enthusiastic team.

Take on a new challenge and apply your quality management and supplier performance expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and dynamic teammates.

You'll be at the forefront of ensuring supplier quality and driving continuous improvement in our operations. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as SPQD, supply chain, and incoming inspectors), manage non-conformities, and oversee containment actions, among other responsibilities.

You’ll specifically take care of supplier non-conformities and lead incoming inspection activities but also drive supplier performance improvement initiatives.

We’ll look for you to :

• Managing non-conformities, including informing suppliers, implementing securitization, and invoicing costs of non-quality (CONQ S1);


• Organizing retrofit actions and quality wall implementations when necessary;


• Securing and enforcing supplier corrective and preventive action plans;


• Driving supplier improvement roadmaps for non-performing suppliers;


• Conducting inspections for low-critical parts and ensuring control plan sustainability;


• Leading incoming inspection activities, including managing a team of inspectors and ensuring compliance with defined control plans.

All About You

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:

• Degree in Engineering, Quality Management, or a related field;


• Experience or understanding of supplier quality management and non-conformity processes;


• Knowledge of quality control tools and methodologies;


• Familiarity with ERP systems and control plans;


• A certification in quality management or a related area;


• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.


• Excellent communication and team collaboration abilities.

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!
