Job Description

1. Quality Management System (QMS) Development

Establish, implement, and maintain a QMS tailored to biomass production processes.

Align QMS with relevant standards (e.g., ISO 9001, ENplus, Sustainability Criteria for Bioenergy, etc.).

Ensure proper documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and quality manuals are maintained.

2. Product Quality Control & Testing

Oversee laboratory testing of biomass properties (e.g., moisture content, ash content, calorific value, bulk density, particle size).

Implement inspection procedures for raw materials (e.g., wood chips, agricultural waste) and finished products.

Ensure compliance with domestic and international bioenergy standards (e.g., ISO 17225 for solid biofuels).

3. Environmental and Safety Compliance

Monitor compliance with environmental regulations, such as emissions standards, sustainable sourcing, and waste management.

Ensure biomass production does not exceed allowable CO2 emissions, particulate matter, or VOC levels.

Collaborate with HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) teams to ensure production safety and reduce environmental impact.

4. Raw Material & Supplier Quality Assurance

Audit and qualify suppliers of feedstock (e.g., forestry waste, crop residues).

Establish specifications and controls for incoming raw materials to ensure consistency in fuel quality.

Monitor for contaminants like dirt, metal, or hazardous substances.

5. Customer & Certification Compliance

Ensure products meet customer specifications and third-party certification standards (e.g., ENplus A1/A2, SBP (Sustainable Biomass Program), FSC/PEFC for traceability).

Handle product non-conformities, returns, and customer complaints.

Conduct regular customer quality reviews and prepare compliance documentation.

6. Data Collection and Analysis

Track quality KPIs like:

Defect/rework rate

Product consistency

Moisture variability

Energy content stability

Use statistical process control (SPC), root cause analysis (RCA), and CAPA to address issues.

7. Process Improvement and Optimization

Identify opportunities to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and improve energy output per unit of biomass.

Lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, or Kaizen methodologies.

8. Training and Awareness

Train production staff on quality standards and product handling.

Promote a culture of quality, sustainability, and environmental responsibility.
