Quality Manager

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Quality Manager to join a well-established global distribution operation in the West Midlands.

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident and hands on quality professional to lead a small team and play a key role in maintaining high standards across incoming goods, warehouse processes, and site compliance.

The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the quality function within the distribution centre, ensuring all incoming fasteners and industrial components meet the required specifications, quantities, and condition standards prior to release to customers.

Working closely with Quality Inspectors and the Warehouse Manager, you will help drive process adherence, support site improvements, and ensure quality is maintained throughout the operation.

Role: Quality Manager
Salary: £47,000 per annum + Benefits
Location: West Midlands
Working Pattern: Monday to Friday, 8:30am-5:00pm, onsite

You will also take ownership of key HSE and ISO responsibilities, including supporting ISO9001 and ISO14001 compliance. The Quality Manager requires a strong communicator who is equally comfortable engaging with shopfloor teams and senior stakeholders, and who can provide clear leadership to a mixed experience team.

• Lead and develop a team of 4 Quality Inspectors.
• Oversee incoming quality inspections, certifications, and release processes.
• Ensure goods received meet specification, quantity, and condition requirements.
• Work collaboratively with warehouse operations to maintain process compliance.
• Support and promote HSE standards across the site.

• Confident communicator with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Experience mentoring and developing team members.
• Knowledge of ISO9001 and ISO1401.
• A practical, proactive approach with strong attention to detail.

This Quality Manager requirement is not for a typical manufacturing role but will need good experience, leadership exposure and someone who can manage the shopfloor and communicate clearly with senior internal stakeholders. In return there is a good package, opportunities to grow in the business and a chance to develop if you are a Senior Quality Engineer looking for QM position.
