The specialist conducts risk-based surveillance, reviews work and inspection records, identifies process drift, and verifies corrective actions.

• Conduct independent quality surveillance at customer and operational sites
• observe work in progress and compare execution with approved work cards, drawings, technical data, procedures, and configuration requirements
• verify inspections and hold points are completed and documented
• review work packages and records for accuracy and traceability
• identify and report process drift, recurring discrepancies, and risks
• verify corrective actions and escalate systemic issues
• perform risk-based process audits and reviews
• analyze quality data and support root-cause analysis, containment, and continuous improvement
• maintain surveillance records and reporting
• verify applicable safety requirements
• when not traveling, support trend analysis, audit preparation, corrective-action tracking, and selected production quality activities.
