Head of Quality – Hadfab
Hadfab is an ambitious and growing fabrication business delivering high-quality engineered solutions across complex, multi-site projects. As we scale our operations, we are seeking a Head of Quality to lead, strengthen, and future-proof our Quality function.
This is a senior leadership role responsible for defining, governing, and continuously improving our ISO 9001-aligned Quality Management System. You will ensure all products, processes, and project deliveries consistently meet customer, contractual, and regulatory requirements—without compromise.
Reporting to senior leadership, you will act as Hadfab’s independent Quality authority, providing objective oversight of standards, audits, inspections, and non-conformance across the business. You will play a critical role in protecting customer confidence, ensuring compliance, and maintaining product integrity as production volumes, supplier networks, and project complexity increase.
