An exceptional opportunity for a Senior Product Quality Specialist with key global manufacturing client in the area.

The role reports to the QA Operations Manager and is initially required for a period of six months to cover long term sickness, with a likelihood of an extension, so we are looking to onboard as soon as possible.

At this point, it is also worth adding that this role is with an ever growing business and therefore, there may be additional opportunities within the Quality Team a little further down the line, so a superb opportunity to join a key employer within the area, with the possibility of future career development opportunities becoming available.

Whilst there is some flexibility on the ideal candidate, there is a requirement for the post holder to have solid experience within a heavily regulated environment at senior level, ie. fast moving consumer goods/cosmetics/medical devices or an associated industry, but where the pace is rapid.

A background in QA, perhaps a Process Engineer or even Procurement could apply themselves to this senior role.

Autonomy – the strength to be the first point of contact, ie. finished goods, components, manufacturing, suppliers etc.
A “Quality” mindset.
Root Cause – key ability to drive RCA, to challenge and be disruptive, but in a positive way.
Not take anything for granted, not afraid to question.
The confidence to react quickly when things can change at a moment’s notice, so adaptability.
A strong team player, experience of being hands on, visiting the shop floor, spending time with the team.
Outstanding communication skills, a positive approach.
Effective communicator with the team suppliers and wider business.
Able to influence.

Responsibilities will include:
Support and Act on the release process for UK Plant.
