Are you a hands-on Aerospace Quality professional ready to take the next step into Quality Management and take real ownership of a department?

Do you want the autonomy to lead a team, stay close to the shop floor and make decisions on complex, tight-tolerance components rather than managing Quality from a distance?

The work is varied, covering complex CNC machining, castings and other high-spec components where technical Quality knowledge matters.

The business is open to candidates who are already established Quality Managers, as well as technically strong Quality Supervisors, Leads or Senior Quality professionals ready to step into their first management role. Relocation support is available for the right candidate.

The Role:

Lead a close-knit Quality team and take full ownership of the department

Oversee Inspection, CMM and Calibration across a busy precision machine shop

Solve technical Quality challenges across complex, tight-tolerance Aerospace components

Lead audit readiness and drive improvements across the Quality function

The Person:

Proven Quality experience within Aerospace precision machining, with leadership experience or the ability to step into management

Strong AS9100 QMS ownership and audit experience

Hands-on CMM experience, with programming experience beneficial

Technically confident with blueprints, GD&T and tight-tolerance manufacturing
