Job description

We are looking for a technically competent, hands-on QMS Development Lead with proven aerospace quality management system experience. In this role, you will build a practical, traceable Quality Management System that connects engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, inspection, risk management, and continual improvement. This role is about building quality into every process, not merely preparing documents for audits. You will maintain independence and objectivity when reporting quality risks, verify corrective-action effectiveness, and never compromise applicable requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify process and product risks, evaluate potential failures, establish suitable controls, and monitor their effectiveness.
• Plan and conduct risk-based internal audits, document findings, and verify that corrective actions are effective.

Root Cause, Corrective Action & Nonconformity Management

• Lead or facilitate RCA, CAPA, 8D, and other problem-solving methods to prevent recurrence rather than merely correct symptoms.
• Establish practical methods to identify, contain, investigate, disposition, and resolve nonconforming products or processes.
• Support supplier qualification, quality evaluation, and supplier audits.
• Manage supplier nonconformities and drive supplier improvement activities.

Metrics, Management Review & Digital QMS

• Develop meaningful quality indicators, analyse trends, report risks and performance, and support management reviews.
• Digitise document control, audit management, CAPA tracking, training records, and quality reporting while maintaining data integrity and traceability.

Training, Culture & Readiness

• Help teams understand why quality controls matter and make quality part of daily work rather than an activity performed only before audits.
• Maintain evidence-based compliance, identify gaps early, and coordinate improvement actions with the relevant process owners.
