This key role will have a direct impact on a growing aerospace company that is building a factory of the future and developing bleeding-edge technology. The opportunity is to shape how safety, quality, and airworthiness are embedded across the entire organisation, from design and manufacturing through to maintenance and operations.
This role goes far beyond maintaining systems and documentation. The successful candidate must have demonstrated experience working within an EASA/FAA Part 145 environment and will work end-to-end across the organisation, partnering with senior leadership, engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams to ensure safety is fully integrated into the business's operations.
You will have the autonomy to shape and mature the Safety Management System, helping the organisation move from initial regulatory acceptance into a fully demonstrated, best-in-class Part 145 operating model.
The business is investing heavily in cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities and advanced technologies to revolutionise aviation. You will be visible across the site, involved in every major project, and trusted to engage confidently with regulators, customers, and governing bodies.
This role would suit someone who has genuinely done the job before, not just overseen it. You may come from a quality, safety, or compliance background within aerospace, defence, MRO, or manufacturing, and you will be comfortable operating at component or aircraft level. Experience with safety investigations, human factors, and regulated environments is essential, as is the ability to take complex regulatory expectations and turn them into practical, business-ready solutions.
If you are looking for a role where you can influence the whole organisation, help build a future-ready aerospace facility, and be part of technology that will shape the next generation of aviation, this is a unique opportunity to do so.
Requirements for this role:
Several years of experience in a Safety/Quality or Compliance role.
Knowledge and experience with Part 145.
Experience in a manufacturing environment.
