  • Define, implement, and continuously evolve Anglo American's enterprise Quality Management Strategy and integrated Quality Management System (QMS) across Engineering, Maintenance, Projects, and Supply Chain functions.
  • Serve as the enterprise authority for quality governance, establishing policies, standards, procedures, technical specifications, and assurance frameworks aligned with Anglo American requirements, regulatory obligations, asset integrity principles, OEM requirements, and international standards.
  • Provide independent assurance over critical business processes, including engineering design, strategic sourcing, procurement, manufacturing, fabrication, construction, installation, commissioning, and maintenance execution, ensuring compliance with defined quality standards and performance requirements.
  • Lead the development and execution of quality assurance, audit, inspection, and process maturity programmes across operations, projects, and supply chains to drive consistency, compliance, and continuous improvement.
  • Identify, assess, and mitigate quality-related risks across the asset lifecycle, with particular focus on critical supply chains, supplier capability, manufacturing quality, logistics complexity, and operational readiness.
  • Partner with Supply Chain leadership to embed quality requirements into strategic sourcing strategies, supplier qualification, category management, contract governance, supplier relationship management, and critical equipment procurement decisions.
  • Lead supplier quality governance for strategically important suppliers, including qualification, capability assessments, performance monitoring, vendor development initiatives, and technical assurance of products and services supplied to Anglo American operations.
  • Develop and execute a risk-based global supplier assurance programme, including audits of critical suppliers, management of corrective actions, and oversight of third-party inspection and verification service providers.
  • Establish assurance processes that verify sourced products, equipment, components, and services meet technical, regulatory, reliability, safety, and lifecycle performance requirements before deployment into operations.
  • Define and maintain maintenance quality standards, inspection requirements, workmanship expectations, and acceptance criteria to ensure alignment with asset integrity objectives, engineering change governance, OEM requirements, and statutory compliance obligations.
  • Develop quality intelligence, performance metrics, and reporting frameworks that provide visibility of quality risks, supplier performance, compliance status, and improvement opportunities to operational and executive leadership.
  • Drive the adoption of innovative technologies and digital quality solutions, leveraging data, predictive analytics, automation, artificial intelligence, and advanced inspection technologies to strengthen quality governance, optimise supply chain performance, enhance asset reliability, and deliver sustainable business value.
  • Drive a culture in which quality is recognised as a strategic enabler of safety, asset reliability, operational performance, supply chain resilience, and sustainable business value.
