• Strong stakeholder management skills, from shop floor to senior leadership
• Confident decision-maker who takes ownership and accountability
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong IT skills, particularly Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook

Desirable

• Experience with SAP (Quality module)
• Familiarity with quality management systems (e.g. ISO standards)
• Background in machining, electrical, or complex engineering environments
• Experience supporting bid or proposal work

Why Join?

• 4-day working week supporting work/life balance
• Exposure to a wide range of engineering programmes and technologies
• Opportunity to influence designs early and drive real quality improvements
• Supportive team structure with scope for development and progression
