Quality Manager

We're working with an established precision engineering business in Cambridgeshire that is looking to appoint a hands-on Quality Manager to lead its quality and inspection function.

The business manufactures complex, high-precision components for customers across a range of demanding industries, including aerospace, space, medical, life sciences, scientific instrumentation and other advanced technology sectors.

This is a key role within the business, taking responsibility for the Quality function and leading an experienced inspection team, with a Quality Supervisor already in place.

You'll be responsible for maintaining high-quality standards across the business, resolving issues, improving processes and ensuring the Quality function continues to support the demands of a busy precision manufacturing environment.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading and developing the Quality and Inspection team, including managing the Quality Supervisor
• Taking ownership of quality issues, non-conformances, root cause investigations and corrective actions
• Driving improvements across quality processes, procedures and standards
• Maintaining quality standards and ensuring processes and procedures are being followed effectively

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience within Quality in a precision engineering or CNC machining environment
• Experience leading or managing a Quality/Inspection team
• Strong understanding of engineering drawings, tolerances and precision component inspection
• A hands-on approach with the ability to lead the Quality function and drive continuous improvement

This could suit an established Quality Manager looking for a new challenge or an experienced Quality Lead ready to take the next step into management.
