• Work closely with production and operational teams to embed quality processes throughout the business
• Conduct and manage internal and external audits, ensuring ongoing compliance
• Identify process improvement opportunities and implement corrective and preventative actions
• Develop and maintain clear, practical, and user-friendly quality documentation
• Monitor and analyze quality performance data, providing actionable insights and solutions
• Support and coach staff to build understanding, accountability, and ownership of quality systems
• Investigate quality issues and work collaboratively to drive long-term improvements
• Promote a strong culture of quality, safety, and continuous improvement across the organization

About You

• Proven experience in a Quality Systems Manager or similar quality-focused role within manufacturing or engineering
• Strong understanding of ISO standards and quality management frameworks
• Hands-on, practical approach with the ability to engage confidently on the factory floor
• Strong problem-solving skills and high attention to detail
• Excellent communication and leadership skills with the ability to influence at all levels
• Experience driving continuous improvement initiatives
• Relevant qualifications in engineering, quality assurance, manufacturing, or a related field are preferred

What's on Offer

• Opportunity to play a key role within a growing manufacturing business
• Supportive and collaborative team environment
• Long-term career development opportunities
• Competitive salary package based on experience
• 40 Hours per week, 7:30am-4pm

If you're someone who enjoys improving systems, working closely with people, and making a measurable impact, we'd love to hear from you.
