Quality Management Systems Engineer

A high-reliability engineering and manufacturing business is investing in its Quality function and moving decisively toward a "quality-first" mentality. They're looking for a Quality Management Systems Engineer to become a key driver of that shift. They are looking for someone who will own, shape, and continuously improve the QMS, and genuinely put their stamp on how quality is embedded across the organisation.

This is an on-site, permanent position, suited to a hands-on systems professional who enjoys influencing stakeholders, improving processes, and turning "the way we work" into something robust, repeatable, and audit-ready.

Why this role

Integral to a quality-first transformation: quality is being strengthened as a core business priority, not an afterthought.
Real ownership and influence: you'll have the space to challenge, improve and standardise the management system.
Visible impact: your work will directly affect compliance, product integrity, operational performance and customer confidence.

What you'll be doing

Owning and developing the Quality Management System (processes, procedures, document control, governance).
Driving continuous improvement: identifying gaps, implementing corrective actions, and preventing recurrence.
Planning and conducting internal audits; supporting external audits and customer/regulatory visits.
Supporting risk-based thinking and practical process control across manufacturing/operations.
Leading/supporting management review, quality metrics/KPIs, and action tracking to closure.
Coaching stakeholders so the QMS is used properly day-to-day, not just "written down for audit".

What they're looking for

Experience in a Quality / Integrated Management System role within engineering/manufacturing (regulated or high-compliance environments beneficial).
Strong understanding of management system standards (e.g., ISO 9001; additional standards beneficial depending on sector).
Confident communicator who can influence and bring people with them; pragmatic, not bureaucratic.
Comfortable working on-site and close to operations to make change actually stick
