Employee Spotlight at SCC China: Liang Jiao

Let’s extend our warmest congratulations to Liang Jiao on welcoming her baby smoothly this June and stepping into the role of a happy mother! At the same time, let’s also learn about her growth journey and stories at SCC.

Profile and Background

Q: Could you share some information about your background and how you first joined SCC?

A: I graduated in 2019 and have been engaged in quality-related work ever since. In 2021, I learned through a friend’s recommendation that SCC was recruiting a Quality System Engineer. After several rounds of interviews, I successfully joined the company, and it has been 4 years now.

Q: What positions have you held here so far?

A: When I first joined, I worked as a Quality System and Change Management Engineer, mainly responsible for the maintenance of the IATF16949 system, internal audits, and change management. Later, as I accumulated more experience, I took on project management responsibilities for a period of time. Currently, my main focus is still on the overall establishment and change management of the quality system.

Fun and Personal Life

Q: When you joined SCC, you were very young and single. Now you have gone through marriage and having a baby. Can you share these happy moments in your life with us?

A: I really feel that time flies! At SCC, I have not only achieved professional growth but also completed the transformation of my life roles. My husband and I were classmates; we went from wearing school uniforms to walking down the aisle in wedding dresses. We held our wedding earlier, and this year we welcomed our baby. These happy moments make my life feel more complete and also give me more motivation to balance work and family well.

Closing Remarks

Q: Is there anything else you would like to share about your experience, your team, or your future goals?

A: I am very grateful for every day at SCC. This team has not only helped me.
