About the Role
When the products your suppliers make end up inside pharmaceutical cleanrooms, medical device manufacturing suites, and aerospace environments, quality isn't a process, it's a responsibility. An established, growing manufacturer serving highly regulated industries across the UK and internationally is seeking a Supplier Quality Officer to join their QSHE team.
Responsibilities
- Own the supplier approval process from initial assessment through to ongoing performance management, ensuring compliance across a multi-standard IMS that includes ISO 9001, ISO 13485, BS EN 14065, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001.
- Plan, schedule and execute external supplier audits, including international travel, writing up reports, raising non-conformances, and driving corrective actions through to closure.
- Work closely with Procurement during supplier selection: assessing risk, reviewing technical specifications, and making sure the right documentation is in place before anything is approved to supply.
- Monitor supplier KPIs and manage CAPAs, escalating poor performance and leading continuous improvement across the supply base.
- Conduct internal audits to proactively surface quality gaps and assess the effectiveness of existing controls.
