Looking for a role where you can take real ownership of quality in a manufacturing environment? This is a hands-on opportunity for a Quality Engineer to lead laboratory operations, drive compliance, and influence product quality from raw materials through to finished goods.
You’ll play a critical role in ensuring products meet strict regulatory and quality standards, while building and maintaining robust quality systems across both factory and warehouse operations.

This is a broad and autonomous role where you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day management of laboratory operations and overall quality assurance across the site.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing laboratory testing of raw materials and finished products to ensure compliance with specifications
- Approving product release and verifying batch records, including Certificates of Analysis
