Quality Manager
UK Staffing Group is recruiting for a Quality Manager to join an established UK engineering business as it develops a new fabrication operation in the North West.
This is a genuinely hands-on quality role. The business isn't looking for somebody to simply maintain an established system – they need someone who can build, implement and embed a robust Quality Management System and support the new operation towards ISO 9001 accreditation.
The Role
Working closely with the Operations Manager and wider compliance team, you'll take ownership of quality across the new facility. You'll be responsible for:
- Developing and implementing the site's Quality Management System
- Supporting the business towards ISO 9001 accreditation
- Creating practical quality procedures, processes, and documentation
- Establishing inspection, traceability, and quality-control processes
- Managing NCRs, corrective actions, and root-cause investigations
- Developing internal audit processes and maintaining audit readiness
- Working directly with manufacturing and fabrication teams to improve quality
- Identifying recurring issues and driving continuous improvement
- Ensuring quality requirements are understood and followed on the shop floor
- Building a quality culture that works operationally – not just on paper

- Experience with NCRs, CAPA, and root-cause analysis
