Deputy Quality Lead – Greenwich – £70,000 + Car Allow. + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Lead, Inspire, Deliver
We’re looking for a hands-on quality leader who thrives on developing people, driving performance, and leading a diverse team. As Deputy Quality Lead, you won’t just manage processes—you’ll shape a culture where “Right First Time” is second nature, challenges are tackled head-on, and every team member can grow and succeed.
You’ll work closely with the Site Quality Manager to be the voice of quality across production, owning non-conformance control, corrective actions, and root cause investigations. But your impact won’t stop there—you’ll coach, mentor, and motivate your team, manage conflict constructively, and help create a workplace where collaboration, accountability, and inclusivity thrive.
Why This Role
* Competitive salary, bonus, car allowance, and excellent benefits.
* Lead a diverse, talented team and have real influence over their growth and success.
* Shape the quality culture of a business undergoing an exciting transformation.
* Join a company which develops technology which we all depend on every day!
* Visible, tangible impact—your leadership directly improves how people work, learn, and deliver.
What You’ll Own
* Day-to-day quality operations—guiding junior engineers and stepping in where needed.
* Non-conformance control, corrective actions, and RCA investigations (8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys, FMEA).
* Team development—mentor, coach, and motivate QEs, QCs, and Support Specialists.
* Drive performance—manage conflict, set expectations, and ensure accountability.
* Embed quality across production, design, supply chain, and project teams.
* Support internal and external audits with speed and confidence.
* Proactively plan for product readiness and risk prevention.
* Foster a culture of curiosity, inclusivity, and continuous improvement.
About You
* Engineering degree (or equivalent) with strong quality leadership experience.
* Skilled in quality systems and tools (ISO9001 Lead Auditor; Lean Six Sigma Black Belt desirable).
* Proven track record in leading and motivating diverse teams, managing conflict, and driving performance.
* Experienced in highly regulated, zero-error industries (Automotive, Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Pharma, Food).
* Collaborative, inquisitive, and solution-focused—always asking why, not just how.
* Ideally a current or former Quality Manager ready to make a real difference in a deputy leadership role.
