About the Role At United Rolls, quality is not a support function, it's a core part of how we operate. You're not managing paperwork or checking boxes. You're responsible for the quality and reliability of products that run in steel mills around the world. These are large, high-value, precision-engineered components where failure is not theoretical. When something goes wrong, it has real consequences for our customers and for our operation. This role owns the full quality function across the plant. That means setting standards, enforcing them, and continuously improving them. You'll work directly with production, engineering, and leadership to identify issues early, solve problems at the root, and ensure consistency in how we manufacture and deliver our products. If you've worked in heavy manufacturing, understand metallurgy, and know how to drive quality in a real production environment this is a role where your experience applies immediately. Our Quality team is expected to step into problems on the floor, understand what's actually happening, and drive decisions, not simply wait for issues to be summarized in a report. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can balance technical expertise with practical decision-making and isn't afraid to take ownership when it matters. What you'll be responsible for You will lead the quality function across the plant, with full ownership of systems, standards, and outcomes.
