The Quality Manager will be an integral member of the company’s management team focused on the development and implementation of quality procedures and processes at this fast growing and successful complex small electro-mechanical instrumentation manufacturing business.
As the Quality Manager, you will be responsible for managing all aspects of the quality department and it’s QMS whilst implementing and improving processes across all departments – from goods in, through production, quality control through to product delivery!
You will take responsibility for all quality-based documentation and standard operating procedures (SOPs) not to mention related audits (both internally and externally) to ensure all parties are at the appropriate standard (ISO 13485) - working with internal stakeholders, customers and suppliers to ensure the delivery of high product quality across the business.

This is an all-encompassing role where you will utilise all your skills and experience of both technical and commercial nature – being the quality authority on site!
The Quality Manager will need the following skills and experience:
- Strong academic background - A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant technical discipline
- Practical, hands-on approach to quality processes in manufacturing and service provision
- Recent and relevant experience in a senior quality role (e.g. Quality Manager / Deputy Quality Manager / Senior Quality Engineer) within a medical device manufacturing environment
- Extensive experience within Quality Management Systems along with the medical device standards of ISO 13485.
- Advanced Quality knowledge (e.g. APQP [inc. PPAP, FMEA], CAPA, continuous improvement, problem solving, 5S, Risk Assessment, etc.)
- Experience maintaining and developing a QMS (or contributing to the maintenance and development thereof), including its high-level structure and architecture, balancing multiple stakeholders’ inputs and interests.
- Excellent attention to detail goes without saying, thus experience of technical writing and drafting formal quality documentation would be required.
- Experience managing customer audits, and conducting supplier audits (both onsite and remote)
