This role will be leading the introduction and implementation of the automotive quality standard through successful certification. You will be responsible for the quality management system, ensuring internal procedures are followed and defining, documenting, and maintaining the processes and procedures required.

The successful candidate will be managing a team of Senior Quality Engineers, so you will have excellent communication skills, being able to work with people at all levels across the business and develop valuable working relationships with customers. You will also be maintaining records required by the standard, working with the other departments to gather and report data.

We are looking for someone with good leadership skills and an eye for detail who thrives in a fast-paced environment.

You will need

It is an exciting time to join Xtrac as we continue to grow and deliver high profile projects to both our Motorsport and High-Performance Automotive customers. We offer a busy and unique place of work, with both design and production under one roof, and exposure to different disciplines across the business.

Whether it’s our competitive salaries, one of our annual staff events or our ‘random acts of kindness’, we like to make sure our employees are recognised and valued.
