(Senior) QAQC manager nuclear equipment integration services

CONTEXT:

Could your best career choice be one that propels you toward becoming an intrapreneur or entrepreneur in your field of expertise

Success in industries often relies on key individuals demonstrating intrapreneurial leadership i.e. who continuously launch new initiatives and seek for excellence.

The best way to develop this strength is through ad interim projects i.e. work with established intrapreneurs in international companies to support their major expansion or improvement initiatives regarding governance studies or operations.

AETHER manages these opportunities in key strategic sectors as these offer greater learning opportunities with multi-million impacts:
- Public Infrastructures
- Process Manufacturing
- Component & System Technologies

One challenge for operations in process industries is that a single failure in quality governance across workshops and field sites can propagate unnoticed through assemblies creating hidden non-conformities that compromise system integrity delay critical deployments and generate severe regulatory exposure if QA/QC processes are not rigorously steered end-to-end.

> We therefore invite you to collaborate with AETHER as a senior QA/QC Manager.
