• Partner closely with Engineering and Production to translate technical requirements into practical, repeatable processes and controls.
• Lead Quality performance with supplier quality expectations, improvement plans, and disciplined corrective-action follow-through.

The Head of Quality will bring:

• Significant senior Quality leadership experience within engineering or technical manufacturing.
• Proven experience building, transforming, or significantly improving a Quality Management System.
• Strong working knowledge of ISO 9001 and/or AS9100, including implementation, transition, or significant system development.
• Operational Quality expertise covering conformity, inspection and testing, non-conformance, root cause analysis, and corrective action.
• Credibility to influence, coach, and constructively challenge across shop-floor delivery and senior leadership.

Quality is a shared responsibility, from Engineering and Procurement through to Production and final customer delivery. This Head of Quality role supports the business’s mission of delivering high value-add technology designed for demanding environments, with a clear focus on safety, wellbeing, and continuous improvement. As Head of Quality, you’ll help build a positive Quality culture centred on prevention, structured problem-solving, and measurable customer outcomes.
