ROLE PURPOSE

• Manage the day-to-day implementation of the existing quality management system for yacht production and technical delivery.
• Ensure quality standards and procedures are consistently followed during yacht construction.
• Identify, document, and resolve nonconformities with proper supporting evidence.
• Analyze commissioning and after-sales findings to implement improvements in future yacht builds.
• Strengthen quality control processes and ensure continuous improvement across production activities.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Implement existing inspection plans, quality checklists, acceptance criteria, and quality control procedures.
• Identify gaps in existing quality procedures and recommend improvements.
• Conduct inspections of critical mechanical, electrical, and technical systems in coordination with production teams.
• Identify and document nonconformities, assign responsible personnel, and establish corrective action deadlines.
• Verify completion of corrective actions before releasing systems for commissioning.
• Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for recurring or major quality defects.
• Implement and monitor Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) to prevent recurrence of defects.
• Classify quality issues related to design, production, suppliers, installation, commissioning, and operations.
• Coordinate with Engineering, Production, Service, and suppliers to resolve quality-related issues.
• Monitor defect trends and analyze feedback received from commissioning and after-sales teams.
• Ensure corrective actions are effectively implemented in subsequent yacht builds.
• Recommend improvements to existing quality standards, inspection procedures, and production processes.
• Maintain accurate inspection reports, defect registers, and corrective action records.

EXPECTED DELIVERABLES

• Completed quality inspections and inspection reports.
• Properly maintained quality-gate records and checklists.
• Updated defect and nonconformity registers.
• Verified closure of identified quality issues.
• Documented Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
• Regular review and analysis of recurring defects.
• Evidence of effective corrective actions implemented in subsequent yacht builds.
• Continuous improvement recommendations for existing quality procedures and standards.
