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.

In this role, you will work across the business to maintain and improve the ISO 9001 Quality Management System while supporting manufacturing operations through effective quality engineering. You will manage NCRs from initiation through investigation, root cause analysis, corrective action, and closure, as well as supporting CAPA activities, internal audits, document control, traceability records, customer and supplier quality issues, and continuous improvement initiatives.

This is not a routine inspection role. The company is specifically looking for someone with experience owning quality systems, quality processes, NCR/CAPA management, audits, and continuous improvement.

This role would suit a Quality Systems Engineer, Quality Assurance Engineer, Quality Engineer, or experienced manufacturing quality professional with strong ISO 9001, QMS, NCR, CAPA, root cause analysis, and audit experience.

The Role:

• Maintain and improve the ISO 9001 Quality Management System across manufacturing and quality operations, including controlled documentation, procedures, traceability records, and manufacturing documentation packs
• Manage NCRs from initiation through investigation, containment, root cause analysis, corrective action, CAPA implementation, verification of effectiveness, and closure
• Support internal audits, external certification audits, customer audits, audit readiness activities, and customer or supplier quality investigations
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives using quality data, trend analysis, and root cause tools such as 5 Why, Fishbone, 8D, or similar, working closely with Production, Engineering, Purchasing, and Sales

The Person:

• Quality Systems Engineer, Quality Assurance Engineer, Quality Engineer, or similar manufacturing quality background
• Strong experience with ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems, documentation, audits, and compliance
• Experience managing NCRs, root cause analysis, CAPA, corrective actions, and continuous improvement
• Manufacturing background essential; experience with traceability, documentation packs, supplier/customer quality, or engineered components beneficial
