Vickerstock are proud to be working in partnership with a leading food manufacturing business to appoint a Quality Manager for their Armagh based site.

This is a key leadership role within the Technical function, offering the opportunity to lead a dedicated QA team and ensure the highest standards of product safety, quality, and compliance across the site.

If you\’re an experienced Quality professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys leading people, driving standards, and influencing continuous improvement, this is an excellent opportunity to join a company with a strong reputation for quality, integrity and innovation.

The Role
As Quality Manager, you\’ll provide strong leadership to the Shift QA Team, ensuring all operations meet internal, customer, and legislative requirements. You\’ll take ownership of quality systems, factory standards, and continuous improvement projects – making sure the site is audit ready 24/7.

  • Manage product Holds and ensure timely resolutions.
  • Deliver team training and coordinate technical and continuous improvement projects.
  • Maintain and calibrate inspection and test equipment.
  • Lead root cause analysis and implement preventative actions for customer complaints.
  • Manage key technical contractors (e.g., Pest Control, Calibration).
  • Support the Technical Manager during external audits and deputise where required.
  • Collaborate with NPD to ensure seamless integration of new products into the plant\’s QMS.

    • What you\’ll need to succeed:

  • Proven experience in Quality System Auditing
  • Level 3 Food Safety and Level 3 HACCP
  • Experience with BRC and major retailer audits
  • Knowledge of pest control and continuous improvement tools

    • Desirable Criteria (it would be great if you have these but don\’t worry if you don\’t):
