Are you passionate about quality assurance and continuous improvement? Do you thrive in a dynamic environment where precision, teamwork, and problem-solving drive success? If so, this could be the role for you!

About the Role
As a Quality Technician, you will play a vital role in ensuring that their products meet the highest standards of quality and are delivered on time to their wide range of customers. Reporting to the Quality Manager (an outstanding person who I have recently secured a role in this business), you will be responsible for maintaining and improving quality systems, managing supplier quality, and supporting key quality and process initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee quality processes, including internal, supplier, and co-manufacturing quality.
  • Manage defect control, calibration, and material approval processes.
  • Support consumer complaint resolution and product quality standards.
  • Analyse data to drive problem-solving and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Mentor and manage Quality Coordinators and Product Testers.

What You’ll need:

  • HND/HNC or equivalent in a science or materials-based discipline.
  • Proven experience (minimum 5 years) in a quality role within a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong knowledge of packing materials, ISO 9000/22000 standards, and statistical analysis.
  • A data-driven approach to problem-solving and decision-making.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills.

Preferred Skills

  • Familiarity with Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing.
  • Knowledge of CI tools and commercial acumen.
  • Experience with Cape or similar palletising software (training provided).

Why Join Them?
They genuinely committed to fostering a collaborative and respectful workplace where innovation, quality, and excellence are celebrated. With opportunities for personal and professional development, this role offers a chance to make a tangible impact within a growing team.

Working Hours: Monday to Friday, 9-5

If you’re detail-oriented, self-motivated, and eager to contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, I'd love to hear from you.

Note: This is an unbranded opportunity, and further details will be provided during the application process.
