Job Description

Quality Manager – Manufacturing (Hands-On)

About the Company

We are working with a well-established, globally recognised manufacturing business supplying engineered products into a range of industrial sectors. The site operates in a fast-paced production environment with a strong focus on quality, continuous improvement, and customer satisfaction.

The Role

This is a hands-on Quality Manager position where you will take ownership of site quality while remaining close to the shopfloor.

You’ll play a key role in:

  * Driving product quality and process improvement

  * Reducing defects, scrap, and rework

  * Supporting production teams with real-time quality issues

  * Embedding a strong quality-first culture

This is not a purely desk-based or compliance role — we are looking for someone who is comfortable being visible on the shopfloor and actively involved in problem-solving.

Key Responsibilities

  * Manage day-to-day quality control activities within a manufacturing environment

  * Lead root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective actions (8D, 5 Whys, etc.)

  * Oversee non-conformance (NCR) processes, ensuring effective resolution

  * Work closely with production, engineering, and operations teams to resolve issues quickly

  * Drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce defects and improve efficiency

  * Maintain and improve the Quality Management System (ISO 9001)

  * Conduct internal audits and support external audits

  * Monitor and report on quality KPIs

  * Support new product introduction (NPI) from a quality perspective

  * Manage and develop a small quality team

About You

We’re looking for someone with a strong manufacturing quality background, who enjoys being hands-on and making a visible impact.

You will likely have:

  * Experience in a Quality Manager / Senior Quality Engineer role within manufacturing

  * Strong knowledge of:

      * Quality control processes

      * Root cause analysis (8D, 5 Why, etc.)

      * NCR / CAPA management

  * Experience working in a production / shopfloor environment

  * Good understanding of ISO 9001 (or similar standards)

  * A proactive, problem-solving mindset

  * Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally

Desirable (Not Essential)

  * Experience in plastics, polymers, rubber, or similar manufacturing processes

  * Lean / Six Sigma knowledge

  * Experience with supplier quality or NPI

What’s on Offer

  * Competitive salary and benefits package

  * Stable, growing business with long-term opportunities

  * Supportive and collaborative working environment

  * Opportunity to make a real impact on site performance
