You will take ownership of the Quality Manual, QMS documentation and quality processes, ensuring procedures, work instructions and records remain accurate and controlled.
You will plan and conduct internal audits, coordinate external audits and manage non-conformances, corrective actions and root cause investigations. You will also monitor quality KPIs, identify trends and support continuous improvement initiatives aimed at reducing scrap, rework and recurring quality issues.

You will be practical, organised and confident, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to work independently. Strong communication skills and a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement are essential. Good knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel is also required.
