- Developing supplier quality programmes, supplier audits, and incoming inspection strategies
- Ensuring compliance with relevant fire protection, suppression, and detection standards
- Supporting product quality requirements for critical infrastructure and data centre environments
- Leading global quality teams, mentoring site quality managers, engineers, and inspectors
- Driving lean quality initiatives including FMEA, SPC, MSA, control plans, and continuous improvement projects
- Presenting quality KPIs and strategic performance data to senior stakeholders
About You
We are looking for a driven and technically strong quality leader with:
- Degree, HND, or HNC in Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, or related field
- Lead Auditor qualification for ISO 9001
- Proven quality management experience within manufacturing
- Strong experience managing site or multi-site QMS, ideally across international locations
- Background in regulated product manufacturing, ideally within fire protection, engineered systems, or critical infrastructure
- Excellent knowledge of ISO 9001, audits, CAPA, supplier quality, and inspection planning
- Experience with root cause analysis, FMEA, SPC, and continuous improvement methodologies
- Strong leadership capability across geographically dispersed teams
- Confidence working across shop floor operations, suppliers, customers, and executive stakeholders
- Flexibility for regular international travel
Desirable
- Six Sigma certification
- CQI membership or chartership pathway
- Fire protection industry experience
- Exposure to data centre or mission-critical infrastructure environments
- Knowledge of ISO 14001 / ISO 45001
What's on Offer
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience
- Company pension
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Private healthcare (subject to eligibility)
- Professional development support
- A genuine opportunity to shape and lead global quality strategy within a growing international manufacturing business
