Quality Manager / Quality Engineer: Part-Time
Guildford, Surrey
Up to A GBP 50,000 FTE pro rata
2-3 days per week
Flexible working
Hawk3 Talent Solutions are recruiting on behalf of an established family-owned engineering and manufacturing business for an experienced Quality Manager / Quality Engineer to join their team on a part-time basis.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced Quality professional looking to reduce their working hours while retaining a hands-on, influential role within a successful and established business.
The Role
This is a Quality-led position with responsibility for the company's established Integrated Business Management System.
You will take ownership of the QMS, ensuring continued compliance with ISO 9001, while also supporting the company's ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 requirements.
The company's day-to-day Health and Safety provision is outsourced, so this is not a traditional Health and Safety Manager role.
Key Responsibilities Include
- Manage and maintain the Quality / Integrated Management System.
- Plan and conduct internal audits and support external accreditation audits.
- Develop and improve processes, procedures, and work instructions.
- Manage internal and supplier non-conformances and corrective actions.
- Monitor customer satisfaction, feedback, and complaints.
- Analyse and report on Quality KPIs.
- Support Management Review Meetings.
- Liaise with customers and suppliers on quality and compliance matters.
- Support supplier audits and occasional supplier visits.
- Work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to resolve quality issues and improve processes.
- Support regulatory compliance and continuous improvement initiatives.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You'll ideally have:
- 5+ years of experience in a Quality leadership role.
- Strong experience managing a QMS, BMS, or Integrated Management System.
- Strong knowledge of ISO 9001:2015.
- Good knowledge of ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
- Proven internal auditing experience.
- Experience supporting external ISO/accreditation audits.
- Experience managing non-conformances, corrective actions, and customer complaints.
- Good understanding of engineering/manufacturing processes.
- Strong problem-solving, planning, and organisational skills.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work confidently with customers, suppliers, and senior management.
- A practical, hands-on approach rather than being purely systems or paperwork focused.

The Culture
The company has a friendly, relaxed, and genuinely collaborative culture, with a long-standing and loyal workforce.
This is a business where people know each other, work closely together, and take pride in what they do. They're looking for someone who will fit into that culture, build strong relationships, and bring practical Quality expertise rather than simply maintain a system.
The business is also genuinely flexible and open to discussing 2 or 3 days per week, including the working days and hours, with the right person.
What's on Offer
- Up to A GBP 50,000 FTE, pro rata
- Flexible working days and hours.
- 20 days holiday + bank holidays, pro rata.
- Early Friday finish at 3:30 pm.
- Annual company-performance bonus, pro rata.
- Aviva health insurance.
- Death in service benefit.
- Friendly, supportive working environment.
- Genuine flexibility and autonomy.
