This is your chance to get stuck into the full product lifecycle - from design through to launch - working closely with internal teams, customers, and suppliers to ensure every component meets the highest standards. You'll have a direct hand in shaping new product quality and making real improvements to current processes.

Key responsibilities:

• Ensure quality targets and project deadlines are consistently met.
• Provide early-stage quality input during the design phase of new projects.
• Contribute to Design and Process FMEA development and updates.
• Support the manufacture and inspection of prototype components.
• Manage APQP documentation for both customers and suppliers.
• Oversee and support customer PPAP submissions and reporting.
• Analyse part quality issues and implement corrective actions across supply and production chains.
• Collaborate with customers to resolve concerns and ensure compliance.
• Support internal teams with quality-related issues tied to production equipment and processes.
• Lead and support continuous improvement and 8D problem-solving activities.
• Review customer portals and track performance metrics.
• Support internal and external ISO 9001 audits.

This is what you'll need:

• Experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Working knowledge of ISO/TS 16949 and ISO 14001.

And this is what you'll get:

• Competitive salary.
• 35 days annual leave.
• Career and development training programmes.
• Life insurance.
• Long service awards.
