• Support manufacturing changes, trials, and new product activities by assessing potential quality risks and ensuring controls are in place
• Promote good quality practices across the workforce through guidance, support, and effective communication
• Share quality updates, improvement actions, and key issues with relevant teams and stakeholders

• A good understanding of quality processes, standards, specifications, and controls
• Experience contributing to audits, investigations, and improvement projects
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, with the confidence to identify issues and support effective solutions
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence, engage, and support colleagues at all levels
• Comfortable reviewing quality information and using data to identify trends and opportunities for improvement
• A strong eye for detail with a commitment to maintaining high standards
