Are you an experienced Quality Engineer, Quality Systems Engineer, or Quality Assurance Engineer with strong experience managing ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems, NCRs, CAPA, root cause analysis, audits, and quality documentation within a manufacturing environment?
Do you want to take ownership of key Quality Management processes within a well-established manufacturing business, in a role focused on quality systems, compliance, continuous improvement, documentation control, and corrective actions rather than routine inspection?
This is an opportunity to join a well-established UK manufacturer of bolts and pipeline commodities, supplying global markets from a 24/7 production facility. With almost 50 years of experience, the company is committed to maintaining high quality standards, strong technical capability, and continuous improvement across its operations.
