Reference 594167. Consultant: Adam Mayne.

A fantastic opportunity for a Quality Manager has arisen at a Cambridge based cutting edge leading electronics product development company whose innovative technology is reshaping the medical, life science, environmental and industrial sectors. The Quality Manager will be an integral member of the company’s management team focused on the development and evolution of quality procedures, policies and tools at this fast growing and successful complex small electro-mechanical mass production manufacturing business. As the Quality Manager, you will be responsible for managing all aspects of the ISO 9001 QMS, working with internal stakeholders, customers and suppliers to ensure the delivery of high product quality across the business.

You will be a leading driver of quality processes throughout the business – putting your stamp on how all processes are done to the highest standards whilst fostering a continuous improvement mentality. Due to the extremely successful product offering, the business is constantly growing and evolving whilst reshaping various industries! This is also a customer facing role, so you will manage both in-person and virtual customer audits as well as taking responsibility for supplier quality – thus this is an all-encompassing role where you will utilise all your skills and experience of both technical and commercial nature.

The Quality Manager will need the following skills and experience:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant technical discipline
• Recent and relevant experience in a senior quality role (e.g. Quality Manager / Deputy Quality Manager / Senior Quality Engineer) within a manufacturing environment
• Advanced Quality knowledge (e.g. APQP [inc. PPAP, FMEA], CAPA, continuous improvement, problem solving, 5S, Risk Assessment, etc.)
• Experience maintaining and developing a QMS (or contributing to the maintenance and development thereof), including its high-level structure and architecture, balancing multiple stakeholders’ inputs and interests.
• Excellent attention to detail goes without saying, thus experience of technical writing and drafting formal quality documentation would be required.
• Experience managing customer audits, and conducting supplier audits (both onsite and remote)
• Capability to respond to order fulfilment priorities in scheduling and planning quality activities (e.g. inspection, etc)
• Knowledge and experience within plastic injection moulding or PCB assembly processes would be a distinct advantage.
