Role overview

This is a Germany-based Quality Manager opportunity shared through a hiring partner on behalf of the employer, with applications and subsequent steps handled by that partner company. The role is central to maintaining exceptional quality standards across demanding industrial and engineering programs in the clean energy space.

You will shape, deploy, and refine quality systems that support the entire life cycle of advanced electrolysis and hydrogen infrastructure work. The position sits at the junction of engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and project execution, ensuring that quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance are maintained from concept and design all the way through commissioning and handover to the customer. It combines leadership responsibilities with direct involvement in fabrication and construction quality control, while also coordinating closely with suppliers and independent inspectors across Europe to meet stringent technical and regulatory expectations.

Create, roll out, and continually strengthen quality systems, procedures, and project-specific quality plans
Set up and oversee quality teams, inspectors, and external third-party resources supporting suppliers and fabrication partners
Prepare inspection and test plans, define quality hold points, and verify adherence throughout manufacturing and construction work
Handle non-conformances end to end, including investigation of root causes and execution of corrective and preventive actions
Work with Supply Chain teams on supplier qualification, audits, and performance reviews
Examine and approve technical files such as drawings, weld maps, material lists, and manufacturing dossiers to confirm compliance
