Job Title: Quality Engineering Manager - Low Carbon Aerospace Salary: £65,000 - £80,000 Location: Coventry Why this role Some quality leadership roles are about maintaining standards. This one is about helping reshape an industry. If you want your next move to carry real weight, this is a rare chance to become the trusted face of a major engineering services business for a flagship aerospace client, leading quality across programmes that support carbon reduction and the future of cleaner flight. You will join a high-growth, well-funded engineering organisation with more than $1.5 billion in annual revenue and over 2,000 people across the UK and Europe. Backed by deep technical capability and significant investment, you will sit at the centre of complex aerospace programmes where quality, innovation and decarbonisation are closely linked. This is a role for someone who wants visibility, influence and a genuine route into a future Programme Leader position. What you’ll do You will lead the quality agenda for a key aerospace client, acting as the senior point of contact and building trusted relationships across engineering, operations and programme teams. Your focus will be to strengthen quality performance, reduce risk and ensure robust standards across advanced engineering projects tied to carbon reduction, operational efficiency and next-generation aerospace technologies. This role goes well beyond audit and compliance. You will drive root cause analysis, corrective action and continuous improvement in a way that supports both customer outcomes and broader sustainability goals. You will help shape the systems, disciplines and behaviours that improve right-first-time delivery, reduce waste and enable more efficient, lower-impact programme execution across the UK and Europe. About the company Our client is a major engineering services provider with a strong presence across highly regulated, technically demanding industries. Its aerospace capability is particularly impressive, supporting large-scale programmes for some of the world’s most recognised aircraft and engine manufacturers. What sets this opportunity apart is the scale of ambition. The business is investing heavily in aerospace decarbonisation, quality excellence and long-term programme growth. With substantial engineering resource and an exceptional delivery budget behind you, you will have the platform to make decisions, influence strategy and help lead a division with real momentum. About you You will bring strong aerospace quality engineering experience, ideally in a client-facing, programme-led or senior stakeholder environment. You will understand the demands of regulated engineering and be confident working with recognised aerospace quality standards, structured problem solving and continuous improvement methodologies. Just as importantly, you will know how to lead with credibility. You will be comfortable representing the business externally, guiding conversations at senior level and balancing technical depth with commercial awareness. This role will suit someone ready to step beyond functional quality and into a broader leadership journey. Rewards & growth This is a high-impact opportunity to combine quality leadership, customer ownership and sustainability-led engineering in one role. You will have the backing, scale and progression path to develop into a Programme Leader over time, while playing a visible part in carbon reduction programmes that matter to the future of aerospace.
