As Quality Manager, you will have unrestricted access to the Senior Management Team and be responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the QMS. You will champion and develop systems following the "right first time" and "on time in full" principles, quantifying the cost of poor quality and formulating strategies for reducing costs to the business. You will be accountable for realizing targets for the reduction of both external complaints and internal rework, policing the application of quality requirements throughout the production process, and verifying preventative actions. You will act as the internal lead for all in-house and customer-related quality requirements. You will also be the primary contact for all internal and external audits, managing non-conformances, RCA, and corrective and preventive actions to closure following an 8D methodology. Other duties will include leading internal investigations and/or inspections to support the production process, producing monthly and annual KPI reports, controlling quarantine stock and associated actions with the supply chain, and ensuring compliance with all H&S and applicable legislation. To be considered for this varied and challenging Quality Manager opportunity within a fast-paced manufacturing environment, the successful candidate must demonstrate at least 5 years' experience working in an engineering or manufacturing environment in a quality management role. Qualifications should include Root Cause Analysis training, ISO 9001 Lead Auditor Training, and Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). With excellent communication and influencing skills at all levels, and the ability to interpret technical engineering drawings, you will be both analytical and creative with comprehensive knowledge of quality systems, tools, and Lean methodologies. An understanding of environmental 14001 is distinctly advantageous.
