Pro-actively assess raw materials approaching end of shelf life, performing re‑validation testing where appropriate and providing clear quality‑based recommendations to Procurement and Supply Chain.

Process improvement related activities:

Monitor and trend current and historical batch production and raw material QA data, identifying adverse trends, initiating investigations, and implementing corrective and preventive actions.
Lead investigations into failed batches and non‑conforming results, applying structured root cause analysis methodologies (e.g. 5 Whys, Fishbone, CAPA) and working collaboratively with Production, Technical, and Procurement teams.
Support and implement a culture of right‑first‑time and quality excellence in operations, in close co-operation with Production and Technical Teams.
Actively participate in internal audits, quality reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.
