Customer / Supplier Quality Management

Support Quality systems manager in root cause investigations, corrective actions, and recovery plans.
Ensure customer concerns are managed professionally and responded to within agreed timescales.
Coordinate structured problem-solving using methodologies such as 8D, 5 Why, and RCCA.
Support customer audits and maintain customer confidence.
Lead supplier quality performance management activities across the supply chain.
Manage supplier non-conformances, corrective actions, and containment activities.
Work closely with Purchasing and Supply Chain to improve supplier accountability and performance.
Conduct supplier audits, supplier visits, and supplier development activities where required.

Experience leading root cause investigations and corrective action activities.
Strong leadership, communication, organisational, and decision-making skills.
Ability to manage priorities and maintain structure under pressure.
Practical hands-on approach with strong attention to detail.
Experience working within an SME manufacturing environment.

Experience within rail, aerospace, automotive, or engineered manufacturing sectors.
