WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Help us build a new automotive assembly operation from the ground up. As a globally operating logistics service provider with 41,000 employees in over 70 countries, we manage complex supply chains and offer our customers innovative value-added services. In doing so, Rhenus Automotive implements the entire value-added process of automobile manufacturing. This is a unique opportunity for a quality engineer who wants to make a real impact—designing processes, solving complex problems, and setting quality standards from day one.

We’re looking for proactive thinkers who can innovate, adapt quickly, and embrace change. The journey will bring challenges and uncertainties, but also the chance to shape the future of a new business branch. If you’re ready to your expertise and creativity in a dynamic environment, we want you on our team.

Monitor and report on key quality metrics, including scrap rates, defect rates, and customer complaints.

Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement

Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) for internal and external quality issues.

Lead continuous improvement initiatives using appropriate methodologies.

Support new product launches and engineering changes with quality planning (APQP) and validation activities.

Documentation & Compliance

Maintain quality documentation including control plans, FMEA, PPAP submissions, and inspection reports.

Ensure compliance with customer requirements and regulatory standards.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Liaise with suppliers and customers to resolve quality concerns and ensure compliance with specifications.

Provide training and guidance to assembly personnel on quality standards and best practices.

Strong knowledge of Core Quality Tools: APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, SPC.

Knowledge of VDA 6.5 for product audits and VDA 6.3 for (internal) process audits.

Familiarity in statistical analysis and problem-solving techniques.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Desirable Skills:

Certifications: ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), Six Sigma Green Belt or higher.

Experience with supplier quality management and audits.

Familiarity with automotive assembly processes and equipment.

BUSINESS UNIT
