Are you ready to step away from repetitive testing and truly own the future of quality? This is a high-impact, senior-level opportunity to help build and shape a brand-new, two-person team dedicated entirely to proactive quality initiatives and continuous improvement. Reporting directly to the Head of Quality, you will serve as a key technical authority with the rare chance to bring your unique expertise, put your own stamp on site-wide processes, and directly see the business transform as a result of your actions. If you want the autonomy to influence a global manufacturing leader's quality culture and drive real, visible change, this is the career-defining move you've been looking for.

Own the UK Material Non-Conformance Report (MNCR) system and establish a robust Process Review System to drive ongoing site performance.

Coordinate compliance for highly technical manufacturing special processes (such as welding, bonding, and torque tightening) and manage the site asset calibration system.

The ideal Senior QMS Engineer:

Essential: Must possess a relevant Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in an Engineering, Technical, Quality, or Sciences discipline.

Essential: Proven background in a quality or manufacturing role within a highly regulated, quality-focused industry (e.g., Rail, Aerospace, Automotive).

Essential: Comprehensive experience implementing and maintaining rigorous Quality Management Systems (such as ISO 9001 or IRIS).

Essential: Highly proficient in utilising industry-standard root-cause analysis tools (e.g., 8D, CAPA, 5-Why) and managing corrective actions autonomously.
