Quality Management Coordinator

About SAN Automotive:

SAN Automotive is a premier engineering company manufacturing sheet metal stampings, fabricated components, and tool & die solutions for leading OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in the automotive, agri-machinery, construction equipment, and EV sectors.

We work with clients such as Hero MotoCorp, Maruti Suzuki, Honda, JCB, Denso, Mitsuba, INEL, and Kubota, delivering precision-driven components that meet global standards.

With two plants in Faridabad and a strong in-house tool room, press shop, fabrication, and welding capability, SAN Automotive is positioning itself for the next leap — to become a global Tier 1 partner. To achieve this, we are seeking a world-class Quality Systems Leader who can institutionalize discipline, structure, and long-term system excellence.

Position Overview

We are hiring a strategic, disciplined, and sharp Quality Management Systems Head who will take full ownership of making SAN Automotive "audit-ready every single day".

The ideal candidate will have deep knowledge of IATF 16949, ISO 9001, VDA 6.3, Maruti Suzuki VSA, and sustainability systems, and will be responsible for establishing processes that align with global Tier 1 expectations, while creating a culture of quality, compliance, and factory discipline.

This is not just a compliance role — it's a leadership role aimed at transforming SAN's factory floors, documentation systems, and inter-departmental accountability to world-class standards.

Key Responsibilities

1. QMS Design, Deployment & Enforcement

- Implement, manage, and strictly enforce IATF 16949, ISO 9001, and customer-specific requirements (CSR) across all departments
- Prepare and lead internal audits, customer audits (VSA, Honda QAV, JCB), and certification audits (ISO, TUV, VDA)
- Drive discipline and ownership of systems across production, quality, maintenance, NPD, and purchase teams

2. Strategic Audit Readiness

- Maintain full-time audit readiness — all documentation, processes, visual boards, records, and traceability systems must be updated daily
- Create mock audit plans, layered process audits (LPA), audit calendars, and track NCR closure rigorously
- Train department heads and operators on audit behavior, audit documentation, and non-conformance prevention

3. Sustainability and Global Standards Compliance

- Integrate sustainability metrics into the QMS, including energy use, waste reduction, and carbon mapping
- Align documentation and reporting for ESG-focused clients and sustainability audits
- Lead SAN Automotive's readiness for global Tier 1 supplier qualification

4. Factory Floor Organization & Systems Discipline

- Audit and reorganize shopfloor zones (press shop, fabrication, welding, tool room) to align with QMS flow, traceability, and lean movement
- Implement strategic checkpoints, signage, labeling systems, tool boards, visual SOPs
- Monitor and guide real-time implementation of traceability and process control at every workstation

5. 5S Leadership & Clean Factory Culture

- Take personal charge of 5S implementation with measurable KPIs per line, per cell
- Create weekly 5S checklists, scoring systems, and interdepartmental accountability
- Lead "Clean Factory Drives" with zero-tolerance for clutter, disorganization, and non-standardized storage
- Come up with smart layout reorganization strategies to make QMS adherence automatic for workers

6. Leadership, Mentorship & Change Management

- Lead a cross-functional QMS core team and coach department heads on system implementation
- Be a visible quality leader across the shop floor — not just a desk-based coordinator
- Drive mindset change toward "system-first" thinking across all employees
