- Authority to stop release of finished product if standards aren't met
- Work closely with production, NPI, and R&D to ensure quality is built in before handover to manufacturing
- Liaise with your counterpart at the group's second site on a fortnightly basis, with occasional travel
- Report into the Senior Quality Manager overseeing quality across both sites
- Manage quality KPIs including scrap, rework, and out-of-sequence product
- Lead quality audits, FMEA, PPAP, and control plan management
- Support new product introduction and pre-production trials, including work on premium OEM prototype programmes
