Preferred candidate profile

The ideal candidates for Quality Leader roles at Giamiti are hands-on professionals with a proven track record in quality and system management, preferably from the machining or automotive industry. Candidates from other manufacturing sectors will also be considered if they demonstrate strong IATF 16949/ISO 9001 systems experience.

They should have 710+ years of progressive experience, ideally starting their careers as inspectors or engineers and working their way up through learning and performance. This ensures a strong grasp of shop-floor basics, inspection methods, and practical system implementation.

Both roles require strong exposure to customer-facing interactions and audit handling, with the ability to manage external certifications, customer complaints, and supplier quality discussions confidently.

The preferred profile combines being a strict enforcer of compliance ensuring procedures, documentation, and standards are never compromised — with the qualities of a trainer and coach who uplifts teams, develops competencies, and builds a culture of ownership.
