An experienced, practical Quality Supervisor is needed for a specialist bespoke fire door manufacturing business, with the opportunity to progress into the Quality Manager role as part of a planned handover from the current post holder, who is retiring. The handover period runs for up to a year, giving genuine support and mentoring before taking on full ownership of quality standards.
You'll work with production, technical and operations teams to identify issues, investigate root causes, and drive continuous improvement, supported by the outgoing Quality Manager throughout the transition.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
