Your ability to influence stakeholders and manage relationships across cultures and business levels will be essential.

We're looking for someone with a degree in engineering (or equivalent experience), proven experience in supplier quality management, and a strong grasp of tools like DFMEA, PFMEA, and APQP. You'll need excellent judgement, communication skills, and the flexibility to travel across the UK and internationally.

This is a role for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, values collaboration, and is ready to make a meaningful impact. Aston Martin welcomes applicants from all backgrounds and identities—what matters most is your drive to deliver excellence.
