The Role

The automotive supply chain has to move at pace to meet the demands of its OEM customer. To ensure changes in component specification, production & assembly process adjustment and relocations are robustly managed, we are looking for an analytical and detail-oriented NPI / Change Validation Engineer to join our dedicated on-site team supporting our premium automotive client.
