QHSE Manager
Diss, Norfolk
£45,000 – £50,000
Some quality roles end up being little more than paperwork and policing process.
This isn’t one of them.
This business manufactures within a regulated medical devices environment and needs someone who can bring real operational control across quality, health, safety and environmental standards without slowing the business down.
You’ll be the person driving standards on site. Not from behind a desk, but within the operation itself. Working closely with manufacturing, engineering and leadership teams to improve compliance, tighten processes and reduce recurring issues before they become bigger problems.
There’s already a strong foundation in place. What they need now is someone who can take ownership, challenge where needed and keep pushing standards forward.
The role
You’ll lead the site QHSE function across customer complaints, CAPA activity, audits, supplier quality, risk management and continuous improvement.
This is a broad role with genuine visibility across the business. You’ll have the opportunity to influence how the operation runs day to day while supporting ongoing improvements to systems, compliance and manufacturing performance.
Key areas include:
*
Managing customer complaints and corrective actions
*
Supporting and improving the integrated QHSE management system
*
Leading internal and supplier audits
*
Supporting supplier quality and purchased product controls
*
Managing risk activities including pFMEA and process validation
*
Working closely with operational teams to improve quality and safety performance
*
Ensuring compliance with ISO13485, ISO9001, ISO14001 and ISO45001 standards
*
Supporting wider continuous improvement projects across the site
What they’re looking for
*
Previous experience within a QHSE or Quality Management role
*
Strong working knowledge of ISO13485 within a regulated manufacturing environment
*
Medical devices experience would be a strong advantage
*
Experience managing audits, CAPA activity and risk management processes
*
Someone confident operating in a hands-on manufacturing environment
*
Strong problem-solving ability and the confidence to challenge when needed
*
A practical approach to improving standards without creating unnecessary process
This role will suit someone who enjoys being close to the operation, improving the way things work and having proper ownership rather than just maintaining systems.
For the right person, there’s genuine scope to make an impact quickly
