Shape Quality. Drive Change. Make an Impact

This well-established rail engineering SME, part of an international group of companies, is looking for a hands-on, forward-thinking Quality Manager to join its thriving team in Derby.

This is a key role responsible for ensuring our products and processes meet the highest standards, while also championing training, continuous improvement, and environmental responsibility.

You will play a central role in maintaining compliance with ISO standards, driving continuous improvement, and promoting a culture of quality, safety, and accountability across the business.

What You’ll Be Doing

  * Leading quality from the front – ensuring systems, processes and standards are not just followed, but continuously improved

  * Owning and delivering ISO 9001 & 14001 compliance, keeping us audit-ready at all times

  * Acting as a key contact for customer and supplier audits, building confidence and trust externally

  * Driving training and development, ensuring teams have the skills and knowledge to succeed

  * Identifying gaps, solving problems, and implementing practical, sustainable improvements

  * Supporting new projects with robust quality planning and documentation

  * Collaborating across teams to embed a culture of accountability, safety and excellence

  * Playing an active role on the shop floor, staying close to operations and real-world challenges

What Makes This Role Exciting

  * Real ownership — you’ll have the autonomy to shape and improve the quality function

  * High visibility — working closely with senior leadership and key stakeholders

  * Variety — from audits and compliance to training and continuous improvement

  * Impact — your work will directly influence customer satisfaction and business success

What We’re Looking For

  * Proven experience in a Quality role within a regulated manufacturing environment (automotive, aerospace, rail or similar)

  * Strong working knowledge of ISO standards and audit processes (Lead/Internal Auditor preferred)

  * Knowledge and experience of PPAP and customer quality requirements

  * Experience delivering or supporting training and development programmes

  * A proactive mindset — someone who spots opportunities and acts on them

  * Confident communicator, able to engage at all levels of the business

  * Detail-focused, organised, and comfortable managing multiple priorities

Who You Are

You’re someone who...

  * Leads by example and sets high standards

  * Takes ownership and follows through

  * Enjoys working collaboratively and building relationships

  * Is passionate about doing things the right way — and making them even better

Why Apply?

You’ll be joining a business where quality isn’t just a department — it’s a mindset. This is your chance to influence, improve and leave a lasting mark.
