The role

You will support and enhance quality systems to ensure compliance with industry standards (AS9100, ISO9001, ISO14001). You’ll be involved in everything from audits and customer visits to day-to-day problem solving on the floor.

• Investigate non-conformances, support root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
• Liaise with customers on quality-related issues
• Provide training and guidance to production teams to strengthen a culture of quality.

Requirements

• Experience in a Quality Engineer, Quality Supervisor, or similar role within manufacturing/engineering.
• Knowledge of quality systems and standards (AS9100, ISO9001 essential; ISO14001 desirable).
• Auditing qualification is advantageous but not essential.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organisational skills.
• Excellent communication skills, confident in working with colleagues and customers.
• A self-starter, able to work independently and on own initiative.
• Relevant qualification in Quality, Engineering, or related discipline.
