Then bring your experience in quality assurance, people leadership, and technical problem-solving into play, and help shape the future Processing and Assembly setup across the LEGO Group.

As Senior Manager, QEHS Processing, you will lead the QEHS Processing function at our Kladno production site, helping ensure safe products, premium quality, and effective manufacturing processes while supporting the builders of tomorrow. The team consists of 16 skilled colleagues, including Quality Engineers, Quality Specialists, and Technicians covering all shifts. More specifically, you will:

• Lead the Processing QEHS team, developing capabilities, building a skilled organization, and setting direction for quality performance.

• Ensure safe products and premium quality by maintaining effective QA processes, inspection methods, and Integrated Management System standards.

• Partner with Manufacturing teams and R&D Processing in Denmark to prevent quality risks through early involvement, advanced quality tools, and design-for-manufacturing principles.

• Drive rapid containment, root-cause problem-solving, and continuous improvement initiatives that reduce non-conformities and optimize operational costs.

• Contribute as a member of the QEHS Leadership Team, supporting audits, sharing best practices across sites, strengthening EHS culture, and harmonizing global standards.

The QEHS department is committed to ensuring an exceptional quality and EHS culture across our manufacturing operations. Through operational excellence, we help deliver safe, premium-quality products every day.

• Experience building relationships and collaborating across Manufacturing, R&D, and leadership teams.
