We are looking for a Quality Manager who will keep us on the path of continuous improvement and act as trusted advisor. This role focuses on coordinating quality initiatives while offering guidance and support across our Nordic organization.

In sustainability we are presently at the Ecovadis Bronze level.

The position of Quality Manager at Hedengren is a highly demanding and multifaceted role, requiring exceptional leadership and project management skills across a broad area of responsibility involving numerous process owners in multiple countries.
