Are you a hands-on Quality professional who enjoys being visible on the shop floor as much as leading audits and systems? Do you want a role where you can add real value, influence culture, and help shape the next stage of a growing business? If you're looking for a position where quality isn't just a function but a shared mindset, and where your experience with BRC and ISO standards will be genuinely valued, this could be an excellent next step in your career
