Fancy a quality role where you set the strategy instead of just policing it? This process improvement role in Liverpool is yours to build from scratch.
About Us
We're Joloda Hydraroll, a growing engineering and manufacturing business, operating from two UK sites with this role based in Liverpool. Our in-house teams cover mechanical design, production and logistics, with project delivery at the centre of what we do.
Quality has been steady rather than fast-moving, and it's ready for someone to build a modern, lean-driven function from scratch. Our leadership sets clear objectives and steps back, trusting people to work out the how.
The Role
You'll take ownership of quality and process improvement across the site, responsible for both UK sites and sub-contract operations. Reporting directly to the Operations Director. This goes beyond firefighting: you'll get to the root cause of recurring failures, lead Lean and Six Sigma projects, and build a culture where standards keep climbing, with Opportunity in the future to step up to a Group role.

It searches the market for you

Only hits
