Quality Assurance Manager
Full-time, On-site
The Opportunity
Our client, a global manufacturer of electro‑mechanical scientific instruments, is seeking a hands‑on Quality Assurance Manager to own and drive their ISO 9001 Quality Management System at their Stone site. This isn't an oversight role—you'll be personally conducting audits, managing CAPA and NCR processes, and maintaining document control while working closely with engineering, production, and supply chain teams. You'll join a mature QMS environment with one direct report and plans to grow the team. This is an opportunity to shape quality operations while staying close to the action.
What You'll Do
* Own and continually improve the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System
* Personally lead internal audits, CAPA, NCR, and document control processes
* Approve CE/UKCA declarations of conformity and maintain technical files
* Provide quality leadership across engineering, manufacturing, and service teams
* Drive measurable improvements in quality performance and audit outcomes
* Support external audits and regulatory compliance
What We're Looking For
Must Have
* Hands‑on experience managing an ISO 9001:2015 certified QMS in manufacturing
* Personally conducted internal audits, CAPA, NCR, and document control
* Working knowledge of CE/UKCA marking (LVD, EMC, RoHS directives)
* Strong technical literacy — comfortable with engineering change, technical files, and conformity assessment
* Minimum 5 years in quality assurance within a manufacturing environment
Nice to Have
* Experience with electro‑mechanical, scientific instruments, or electronics manufacturing
* Six Sigma, CQE, or similar quality certifications
