Quality Manager

Quality Manager
Fenland area
£45,000

We don't want a quality manager who hides in an office writing reports nobody reads. We want someone who lives on the factory floor, spots problems before they become incidents, and makes food safety something people want to get right.

The job

Run the QA operation across a busy manufacturing site. Six QA Assistants report to you. You report to the Head of Quality & Technical. HACCP, GMP, allergens, calibration, traceability, BRCGS, you will own it all.

You'll be the person customers trust, auditors respect, and the shop floor actually listens to.

Leading a visible, hands-on QA function
Keeping the site audit-ready every day, not just audit week
Driving root cause analysis and CAPA that actually closes the loop
Building a food safety culture people buy into
