Job description

As our next Quality & Manufacturing Manager, your primary responsibility will be to deliver quality and manufacturing projects for our UK manufacturing clients. Your mission will be to help our clients' businesses thrive by identifying and driving opportunities for growth and transformation within their quality function.

You’ll deliver transformation projects by working closely with in-situ teams, delivering a variety of quality-led projects through engagement, coaching and training – using your vast quality background.

You are interpersonal, astute, and savvy - and would thrive at the heart of a business that drives change and transformation within the manufacturing sector. You listen first, considering the bigger picture before acting, rather than pushing your agenda. Your remit will include diagnosing problems within the manufacturing and quality functions, leading quality and manufacturing engineering strategies, implementing manufacturing and quality improvements, running NPI projects and developing quality management systems.

This is a pivotal role in driving growth objectives for a business that upholds the values of integrity, inspiration, and purpose. This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the organisation's development and make a significant impact.

Key Requirements:

1. You will have led New Product Introduction (NPI) projects from start to finish.
2. Experience working in engineering and manufacturing-based organisations.
3. Leadership and management skills within operational delivery teams are essential.
4. Project management experience in engineering and manufacturing is required.

This role is not one-size-fits-all; it requires adaptability and the ability to read the room to tailor solutions for various challenges. You will be responsible for understanding multiple clients' business needs and delivering transformative initiatives that enable them to excel and thrive by identifying opportunities for growth and improvement.

This role involves direct interaction with clients, requiring you to spend 3 to 4 days per week onsite with our manufacturing clients based in the UK. You must have a valid driver's license and be willing to travel to meet our clients. You'll be responsible for managing your own schedule to effectively balance your personal and work commitments.

As a business, our mission is to champion UK manufacturing through training, coaching, and mentoring tailored to tackle our client's unique objectives and obstacles. This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and experience while enhancing your skills in leadership, strategy, and operations. You will have the chance to make a significant impact, contribute to our clients' successes, and play a crucial role within our organisation.
