      Quality

      No Compromises on Quality and Safety

      Continental offers you a wide range of careers in the field of Quality Management, from quality engineers and quality assurance officers in production to auditors or customer product quality managers. Ensuring error-free production and increasing effectiveness and efficiency in development departments, plants, and supporting functions is one of Continental’s top priorities.

      Continuous and multidisciplinary Improvement

      Through the use of specific quality methods and tools, as well as a structured and precise way of working, process control and risk management are optimized to ensure continuous quality control and quality improvement. We also focus closely on customer satisfaction, employee training, and supplier quality.

      Recognizing Challenges before they arise

      An important aspect of the work of a quality manager is the statistical process control used to prevent errors and problems. In addition, corrective measures for problems that occur are developed and tracked by means of continuous improvement processes. Technical understanding, assertiveness, and strong communication skills are vital attributes that a quality manager at Continental should have. We use state-of-the-art quality management systems to ensure we always meet the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

      My Job Is Done When All Tires Have More Than One Life

      Anja Schneider got off to a flying start at Continental as an industrial chemistry forewoman and has now been with the company for over 40 years: “I enjoy working with my team and the products we make. I’ve been with the company for a long time: I began my career at Continental back in 1980 with an apprenticeship as part of the “Girls in Men’s Professions” project and graduated as an industrial forewoman in the late 1980s. I work in ContiLifeCycle quality management in the Tires group sector – my 14th position in my career at Continental. My colleagues and I work in the retreading of truck tires and give them a new lease on life. To achieve this, we buy back tire carcasses and refurbish them. I am proud to be part of this company and want to stay with Continental until I retire. My motivation is to put a good tire on the road at the end of the day, thus ensuring greater safety and a sustainable planet at the same time.”

      My job is done when our customers see us as a benchmark for quality

      Christoph Hagedorn is Head of Quality and Environment and joined Conti directly after completing his degree in industrial engineering: "Quality is something positive that satisfies and makes us proud because it ensures the success of our company. I want my work to contribute to this view being shared by all employees. We published our new quality strategy in October 2017. Since then, I have been working with my team to create a quality-orientated culture at Continental through the seven strategic projects. As quality starts with the behaviour of every employee, I want to lead by example and provide impetus in this process of cultural change. Because if we take responsibility for quality and change our working methods and decision-making principles accordingly, we will change Continental's culture."
