Description

Who is Quest Global?

Our goal is to become the most recognized and trusted global engineering partner for our customers—Fortune 500 companies in the Aerospace, Medical Devices, Oil & Gas, Power, and Transportation industries.

We know we can find solutions to their most important technical and business challenges they encounter. We aren't consultants.

We help them make their products the most competitive in the world and that's how we've grown to over 11,000 problem solvers from 50 centers around the world.

We aspire to be a 100-year company, which doesn't mean staid and boring, but rather, we evolve and adapt to create the frontier of the engineering services industry.

The Team
The Supply Chain organization is an established organization capable of providing significant management services for our customer. It is spearheaded by leaders with diverse background including supply chain management, product development, sales and project management.

Our mission is to broaden the organization by promoting innovative supply chain management skills and techniques while providing exquisite service to our customer.

Our project scopes include a wide range of supply chain services, including ensuring on-time delivery and quality, enabling strategic sourcing and procurement.

Our Culture

We just crossed the 25-year mark, and despite remarkable growth, we have maintained a culture of empowerment at all levels—what we call intrapreneurial.

You will be part of the decision making to drive continuous improvements so we can stay happy and healthy as a business in a challenging industry.

Not everyone is a great fit.

We will throw you into the deep end (with lots of support), but if you want to swim, you have much opportunity.

We're not a place where laziness, ego, or rigid thinking fit in, and that's intentional. You can do more at this company than you can in twice the time anywhere else. We accelerate success; you control the throttle and hold the yoke.
