  • Use structured problem-solving tools (8D, FMEA, SPC) to investigate issues and implement effective solutions
  • Monitor and report on key quality KPIs such as defect rates, audit results and supplier performance
  • Promote a culture of "quality first" across the business

About You

Quality Manager

  • Strong knowledge of QMS standards and requirements (EN 9100, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001)
  • Previous experience managing audits and assessment
  • A background in root cause analysis and continuous improvement techniques (e.g. 8D, FMEA, SPC)
  • Strong leadership and interpersonal skills – able to influence and support at all levels
  • Proficiency with MS Office and QMS/ERP systems
