Tokyo Electron (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. Hiring! Full Time SQA Engineer (Safety and Quality) in Pulau Pinang - Ricebowl

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Position Overview

Safety & Quality Assurance (SQA) Engineer ensures field engineering personnel—including Field Engineers, Start-up Engineers, and Process Engineers—are trained, work safely, and deliver quality workmanship at client/customer sites. The role prevents human error that may lead to property damage or injuries through proactive safety activities, including daily toolbox talks, Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), Pre-Task Planning (PTP), and Safety Management by Walking Around (SMBWA). The role also supports client engagement, incident investigations, safety training development, and coordination with overseas counterparts.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure all engineering team members are trained and competent before starting work at client sites.
• Participate in and enforce daily Toolbox Talks (TBT) at all active worksites.
• Verify all tasks have appropriate risk assessments, including Risk Assessment (RA), Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), Pre-Task Plans (PTP), and Safety Work Procedures (SWP).
• Conduct regular Safety Management by Walking Around (SMBWA) to identify hazards, unsafe conditions, and unsafe acts during work execution.
• Identify, document, and promote Good Catches (near-miss/hazard recognition) across the engineering team.
• Conduct Behaviour-Based Safety Observations (BBSO) for high-risk tasks (e.g., installation, commissioning, repair, and semiconductor equipment service).
• Identify and correct normalized deviant behaviour, where hazards are treated as acceptable, and ensure timely remedial actions.
• Collect qualitative and quantitative safety data (observations, inspections, hazard trends, incidents, etc.) to enable effective Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
• Prepare daily and regular safety reports for management review, including trends, key concerns, challenges, and recommendations.

Incident Investigation & Root Cause Analysis

• Lead or support investigations for injuries, near-misses, equipment damage, or quality failures.
• Determine root cause(s) using recognized methods (e.g., 5-Why, Fishbone/Ishikawa, M-SHELL).
• Develop, track, and close preventive and corrective actions.

Training, Compliance & Competency

• Conduct safety training for engineering personnel, including induction, high-risk work training, practical/equipment-specific training, and client-site requirements as needed.
• Develop new training materials as needed, including e-learning, presentations, and practical assessments.
• Support and coordinate regulatory and compliance training, particularly for construction-area work where certifications are required.
• Maintain training records and competency documentation.

Client Engagement & Coordination

• Support current and new client projects by reviewing safety and quality requirements for each scope.
• Participate in project planning meetings and provide safety input on work methods, risk assessments, and resource needs.
• Build and maintain effective working relationships with client HSE and quality representatives.
• Coordinate with overseas counterparts to align standards, regulatory training, and certification requirements, including training arrangements.
• Support knowledge transfer and standardize safety practices across regions.

Additional Support (Secondary Duty)

• Support office safety initiatives, including fire drills, ergonomics, emergency preparedness, and office inspections.
