A Snapshot of Your Day 

Imagine leading the global operational heartbeat of EQS across Substations worldwide — where your work directly shapes how Quality, Environment, Health & Safety, Product Safety, and Sustainability are governed every single day. 

As EQS Operations Manager (f/m/d), you will run and continuously improve the global operating cadence — weekly, monthly, and quarterly — translating strategy into disciplined, practical execution across regions with different maturity levels and real operational pressure. You will collaborate closely with regional EQS leads, project and factory teams, Operational Excellence, Supplier Quality Management, and senior business leadership, acting as the key operational interface that keeps accountability sharp and escalation consistent. This is a role where your analytical rigour, structured governance mindset, and genuine commitment to prevention and recurrence reduction will make a lasting difference across a complex, international organisation.

How You’ll Make an Impact 

* Lead global EQS governance by running and evolving the global operating cadence for Substations covering QM/NCC, EHS, Product Safety, and Sustainability, reviewing risks and deviations across regions and projects to ensure early identification and consistent escalation
* Drive quality and non-conformance outcomes ensuring transparent oversight of Non-Conformance Costs, challenge the quality of Root Cause Analyses and Corrective and Preventive Actions, and keep a sharp focus on preventing recurrence across the organisation
* Govern EHS and Product Safety risks, overseeing high-risk exposures and incidents, ensuring cross-regional learning, effective preventive actions, and systematic lifecycle tracking of Product Safety risks from identification through to closure
* Apply a maturity-based operating model calibrating your support to where each region is: increase structure and guidance where maturity is low, and enable autonomy where teams are ready - while coaching and challenging regional EQS leads through structured reviews and best-practice sharing
* Partner across the business to drive action; collaborating with Operational Excellence, Supplier Quality Management, and Substations leadership to decide which issues require escalation, business action, or leadership attention, ensuring nothing falls through the gaps

What You Bring

* A university degree in engineering, a technical or business discipline, or comparable hands-on professional experience in complex operational environments
* Multiple years of experience across Quality, EHS, Product Safety, and/or Sustainability with a strong track record of running governance systems and operating models, not just subject-matter expertise
* Experience working across regions, projects, factories, or execution units at different maturity levels, combined with a solid grasp of reactive and preventive methodologies such as NCC management, RCA/8D, risk management, audits, and incident investigation
* The ability to make clear, confident decisions under pressure and drive escalation when it matters, paired with strong communication and stakeholder management skills in international, cross-functional environments
* Advanced English proficiency (additional languages are a plus); willingness to travel as the role requires.
