We're looking for a hands-on Quality Control Manager to lead a critical Fabric Quality operation. This is not a desk-based compliance role. It's a fast-paced, operational leadership position where you'll run a key function, make real-time decisions, and shape how quality supports production and delivery.
The Role
You'll take ownership of an integrated Fabric Quality function, overseeing Finishing, Inspection, Pattern Library, and elements of Shop Order Processing. Your focus will be to ensure quality standards are met while keeping production flowing and delivery on track.
You'll lead from the front, setting priorities, managing workloads, solving problems as they happen, and continuously improving how the function operates.
What You'll Be Doing
· Leading and developing a multi-functional quality team
· Managing day-to-day operations in a live production environment
· Making real-time decisions on quality issues, order priorities, and delivery risks
· Driving consistent quality standards across inspection and finishing
· Investigating root causes and implementing corrective actions
· Monitoring performance, analysing trends, and improving outcomes
· Coordinating closely with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, IT, and Commercial teams
· Managing resources, stock control, returns, and subcontract processes
· Strengthening team capability, structure, and succession
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a succession-focused position, designed to build toward a future leadership transition. You'll work alongside an experienced Quality Manager while developing the capability and ownership to step into a more senior role over time.
What We're Looking For
· Proven experience leading teams in a manufacturing environment
· Background in textiles or another quality-critical production setting
· Strong operational mindset, comfortable juggling competing priorities
· Solid understanding of quality control, inspection, and finishing processes
· A practical problem-solver who can act decisively in real time
· Someone who can improve systems, develop people, and drive performance
If you're someone who thrives in a fast-moving, hands-on leadership role, and you want to shape how quality drives operational success then this is your chance to make a real impact.
