Quality Manager
We are seeking a high-impact Quality Manager to lead our manufacturing quality function and drive a step-change in performance. This is a pivotal role where you will go beyond compliance—acting as the architect of a “Zero Defect” culture, embedding quality at every stage of the production lifecycle, from supplier intake through to final customer delivery.
You will lead a dedicated quality team while working cross-functionally with production, engineering, and supply chain to ensure operational excellence and customer satisfaction
You'll be joining our X-ray Division based in Royston, where we focus on designing and building advanced X-ray inspection systems used in food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries to help detect contaminants and ensure product quality.
What You'll Do
- Manage, develop, and inspire a team of Quality Technicians and a Quality Specialist.
- Act as a primary driver for improvement, evolving the company culture from "compliance-focused" to a "Zero Defect" mindset.
- Assist in the cultural deployment of the SQDCP (Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, People) process to ensure quality is a pillar of daily operational performance.
- Proactively challenge existing quality controls to improve their effectiveness and the robustness of their deployment.
- Work alongside operations staff to establish rigorous procedures, standards, and systems of work.
- Ensure all machines and sub-modules consistently meet defined quality standards before and during production.
- Lead the organisation in tracking internal Quality issues, ensuring exemplary and timely documentation via SAP Quality Notifications.
- Identify process improvements and implement preventive actions to mitigate risks before they impact the customer.
- Provide high-level reports articulating trends, performance levels, and the progress of strategic quality initiatives.
