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.

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
