Quality Manager (Manufacturing) - Bristol (On-site) - Up to c.£65,000 + benefits - Permanent
A well-established UK manufacturer in the Bristol area is hiring a Quality Manager to lead the development, implementation and continuous improvement of the Quality Management System (QMS) and crucially to build a people-led quality culture where "good looks like" is clear, measurable, and owned at every level.
This is a pivotal, hands-on leadership role with genuine influence across Operations, Product/Engineering, Aftercare/Customer, and Supply Chain.
What you'll be doing
Own and evolve the Quality Management System, ensuring it's practical, adopted, and drives better outcomes (not just compliance).
Act as a change agent, embedding quality behaviours and accountability across the business.
Define and embed inspection/testing procedures and product/process quality requirements.
Drive continuous improvement using structured methods (e.g. 8D, CAPA, FMEA, RCA), plus Lean tools.
Build and report meaningful KPIs/dashboards, using data to prioritise and solve problems.
Lead internal/external audits and manage supplier quality/audits.
Identify training needs, build capability (skills matrices, coaching, team development).
What we're looking for
Proven experience as a Quality Manager / Senior Quality Lead within manufacturing (high-volume / assembly / industrial environments highly relevant).
Strong track record of building or improving a QMS (ISO 9001 knowledge strongly preferred; experience leading readiness/implementation is a big plus).
Confident leading cross-functional quality transformation and influencing stakeholders at all levels.
Solid CI/problem-solving toolkit: 8D / CAPA / FMEA / SPC (or equivalent).
Strong communication style: able to coach, engage, and bring teams "on the journey".
Package / Location
Permanent, on-site (Bristol area)
Salary up to c.£65,000 (depending on experience) + benefits
Interested? Reply with a CV or message to arrange a confidential conversation (full details shared before any submission)
