Quality Engineer for a Unique Company

Do you want to work with quality issues in a unique industry, in a strong team and in an international company – but with local presence? Then you could be our next Quality Engineer!

ABOUT THE POSITION

At our client just outside Västerås, you will have the opportunity to work in a company that combines Swiss precision with Swedish craftsmanship. Currently, one of their most extensive projects is underway – the modernization of X2000 – and we are looking for someone who wants to take responsibility for quality throughout the project. You will work closely with production, customers, and the team, focusing on both the big picture and the details.

As a Quality Assurance professional, you will be a key person in the quality organization, with a clear line function but a project-based working method. You will lead the quality work for a specific train set – from planning and startup to test runs and delivery. Even though parts of the production take place abroad, the Swedish operation has the overall quality responsibility, and you will be a central contact point between customers, production, and international colleagues.

Unlike classic line manufacturing, the environment is more of a craft – where each carriage is unique and the structure sometimes needs to be created on the spot. We are looking for someone who can see the whole picture, manage complexity, and drive quality issues with both confidence and clarity.

You will be offered

• A dedicated consultant manager during the assignment period, with frequent dialogues and follow-ups for the best possible development
• An inclusive and social work environment, in a strong team with high competence and great responsibility
• An international work environment, but with local presence in Västerås
• Travel within and outside Sweden to the company's other facilities in Europe.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

• Train project members in quality issues and develop the organization's competence in the area
• Coordinate and lead the various customer inspections conducted in the project and ensure that feedback quickly and effectively reaches the relevant department
• Continuously ensure that data collection continues and that the current quality status is visualized and well visible

WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU WHO

• Has an education in engineering or quality or equivalent experience
• Has at least 2 years of work experience in quality work within the manufacturing industry
• Has experience from a production-related environment – preferably within railways or another specialized, non-linear industry
• Is confident in customer dialogues with experience handling both technical discussions and quality inspections
• Has good computer skills and works effortlessly in MS Office and various system environments
• Has excellent communication skills in both Swedish and English, in both spoken and written form

It is a merit if you have

• Experience from a similar working method
• Experience from both smaller, flexible organizations and more structured companies
• Worked in roles where customer interaction and problem-solving have been central
• Experience from international collaborations or project-based work

To succeed in the role, you are flexible, goal-oriented, and have a structured working method.
