Working with production teams to improve processes, reduce waste, and maintain consistent product quality.
*
Training and supporting staff on quality standards and procedures.
*
Monitoring and reporting on quality KPIs to senior management.
What we’re looking for as a Quality Manager
*
Previous Quality Management experience in injection moulding or plastics manufacturing.
*
Understanding of BRC requirements (and ideally direct BRC audit involvement).
