About The Role


The One Group

Quality Manager – Precision Engineering
Cambridgeshire

We’re working with an established precision engineering business in Cambridgeshire that is looking to appoint a hands-on Quality Manager to lead its quality and inspection function.

The business manufactures complex, high-precision components for customers across a range of demanding industries, including aerospace, space, medical, life sciences, scientific instrumentation and other advanced technology sectors.

This is a key role within the business, taking responsibility for the Quality function and leading an experienced inspection team, with a Quality Supervisor already in place.

You’ll be responsible for maintaining high-quality standards across the business, resolving issues, improving processes and ensuring the Quality function continues to support the demands of a busy precision manufacturing environment.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading and developing the Quality and Inspection team, including managing the Quality Supervisor

  • Taking ownership of quality issues, non-conformances, root cause investigations and corrective actions

  • Driving improvements across quality processes, procedures and standards

  • Maintaining quality standards and ensuring processes and procedures are being followed effectively

What we’re looking for:

  • Previous experience within Quality in a precision engineering or CNC machining environment

  • Experience leading or managing a Quality/Inspection team

  • Strong understanding of engineering drawings, tolerances and precision component inspection

  • A hands-on approach with the ability to lead the Quality function and drive continuous improvement

This could suit an established Quality Manager looking for a new challenge or an experienced Quality Lead ready to take the next step into management.

If the role sounds of interest, click apply and Kieran Evans will be in contact to discuss the finer details.
