About the Role:

We are working with a special alloyed metals distributor to assist them in finding a Quality Manager to join their growing team. The business supplies OEMs, subcontractors, and other distributors, offering precision-cut materials sourced from a specialist French mill.

This is a pivotal opportunity for a quality-focused individual who can take ownership of internal process management and support compliance with aerospace quality standards (AS9120 / AS9100).

• Prepare for and manage audit processes, ensuring operational readiness and compliance.
• Work closely with operations to ensure the accurate supply of cut materials to customer specifications.
• Oversee and maintain control over raw material stock, subcontracted performance, and in-house storing processes.
• Collaborate with internal teams and subcontractors to ensure technical product specifications are consistently met.
• Support the development of quality-focused best practices, with a view to transition into a broader operations management role.

Key Skills and Experience:

• Strong background in quality management, with experience managing internal quality systems.
• Familiarity with AS9120 and AS9100 aerospace standards and their audit requirements.
• Experience working with technical specifications of products, ideally in metals, manufacturing, or engineering.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage processes across stock control, subcontracted work, and operational procedures.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with a process improvement mindset.
• Experience in a small business or SME environment would be advantageous.

Person Specification:

• Process-Driven - Confident managing and improving operational and quality systems.
• Technically Capable - Understands product specifications and manufacturing standards.
• Audit-Savvy - Familiar with regulatory frameworks and able to lead audit readiness.
• Leadership Potential - Eager to grow into a future operations leadership role.
• Hands-On - Willing to be embedded in the day-to-day operations of a busy site.

What Our Client Offers:

• A key role in a PE-backed business with strong growth potential.
• A pathway into operations leadership for someone eager to step up.
• A collaborative team culture with autonomy and responsibility.
• Competitive salary and a business poised for investment and transformation.

Working Hours: Monday to Friday, on-site full time.

If you’re a quality professional with a strong grasp of aerospace standards and internal process management, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic and growing business with a clear route to future leadership. We’d love to hear from you!
