  • Lead resolution of customer quality issues, ensuring compliance with the QMS, effective use of ETQ, and ownership of final RCA response and closure.

  • Manage customer claims, concerns, and complaints through timely containment, RCA, permanent action verification, response, and closure.

  • Serve as the escalation point for highseverity customer issues, supporting rapid resolution and customer satisfaction.

  • Ensure customerspecific requirements are understood, documented, and embedded in internal processes, representing the voice of the customer during MOC activities.

  • Act as gatekeeper for the Customer Feedback (ETQ) process, with authority to review, prioritize, approve, and close requests; validate root cause effectiveness; authorize corrective actions; and ensure actions are implemented, verified, and sustained.

Root Cause Analysis & Corrective Action

  • Lead structured problem solving using recognized or customerrequired methodologies (e.g., 8D, 5 Whys, Fishbone, Is/Is Not).

  • Coordinate crossfunctional teams to investigate internal and external nonconformances.

  • Ensure root causes are evidencebased and corrective and preventive actions address systemic failure modes with urgency and sustainability, including applicability to similar technologies or processes.

  • Partner with regional quality leadership to share RCA learnings across PPG sites to mitigate risk of recurrence.

Customer Communication & Relationship Management

  • Serve as the primary contact for customer quality issues, representing PPG professionally during customer meetings, reviews, and audits.

  • Provide clear, timely communication on issue status, risks, investigations, escalations, and recovery plans to manage customer expectations.

  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with customer plant leadership and engineering teams.

  • Proactively identify quality risks and coordinate preventive actions aligned with the PPG plant quality management system.

Quality Systems, Standards & Audits

  • Promote compliance with customerspecific requirements (CSRs), IATF standards, and PPG internal standards (APQP, FMEA, LPA).

  • Lead customerspecific audits for customers in escalation status, in partnership with the QA Manager.

  • Drive datadriven continuous improvement initiatives to reduce complaint rates and improve quality performance.

  • Collaborate with Manufacturing, Process Engineering, Supply Chain, Sales, Planning, Technical Laboratories, and Customer Service to resolve issues and improve customer scorecard performance.

  • Support packaging, handling, storage, logistics, and transportation quality initiatives as needed.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • Number and severity of customer complaints

  • Repeat complaint rate

  • Timeliness and effectiveness of root cause analysis and corrective actions

  • Open and past due customer action items

  • Customer satisfaction feedback and performance scorecards

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.

  • 5+ years of experience in technical development, customer quality, manufacturing quality, or automotive engineering.

  • Demonstrated knowledge of problem solving methodologies and quality tools.

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast paced, customer focused environment.

  • The person who will be successful in this role is comfortable driving cross-functional teams without direct authority while creating an atmosphere of collaboration, respect, and a continuous improvement.

  • Strong judgment and decision making skills, with the ability to evaluate data, assess risk, and make sound, timely decisions in a customer facing environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Automotive industry and coatings experience.

  • Working knowledge of IATF 16949.

  • Experience supporting customer and third party audits.

Working Conditions & Travel

  • Office and manufacturing floor environment.

  • 10-15% travel may be required to customer or supplier locations.

PPG offers comprehensive benefits such as Health, Dental, Life, Retirement Plan, Paid Vacation & Holidays, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Disability/Leave, and other Voluntary benefit offerings.
