Your responsibilities will include:
*
Leading quality investigations, identifying root causes and implementing effective corrective and preventative actions (CAPA).
*
Driving continuous improvement initiatives across manufacturing processes and quality systems.
*
Reviewing existing procedures, identifying areas for improvement and introducing practical, sustainable solutions.
*
Managing non-conformances, customer quality concerns and supplier-related quality issues.
*
Supporting the development and maintenance of quality management systems, including ISO 9001 and relevant industry standards.
*
Using quality tools and techniques and root cause analysis.
*
Working collaboratively with production, engineering and management teams to improve quality performance.
*
Supporting internal and external audits, ensuring appropriate documentation and corrective actions are maintained.
*
Developing and updating procedures, work instructions and quality documentation.
*
Monitoring quality performance, identifying trends and recommending improvements.
*
Supporting and coaching colleagues to encourage a proactive approach to quality throughout the business.
About You
Ideally, you'll bring:
*
Previous experience in a Quality Engineer, Quality Supervisor, Quality Assurance or similar manufacturing quality position.
*
A good working knowledge of ISO 9001, with ISO 13485 or experience in a regulated manufacturing environment advantageous.
*
Experience managing non-conformances, root cause investigations and corrective actions.
*
A practical understanding of continuous improvement methodologies and quality tools.
*
Strong problem-solving skills and the confidence to challenge existing processes constructively.
*
The ability to work across departments and influence positive change.
*
Excellent communication, organisation and attention to detail.
*
A proactive, hands-on approach with the ambition to develop professionally.
Experience within highly regulated manufacturing sectors would be particularly beneficial.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This isn't simply a role focused on maintaining existing quality procedures.
It's an opportunity to help shape and develop a quality department, introduce improvements and have a real influence on how quality is managed across the business.
