Quality Control Lead Location: Bedfordshire Salary: Up to £50,000 Hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday I’m working with a growing product-based business looking to hire a Quality Control Lead into a newly important role at the centre of quality, regulatory compliance and technical governance. This is a good fit for someone who enjoys bringing structure to areas that matter. The role will suit a detail-focused person who can manage day-to-day compliance activity, improve quality processes, work across suppliers and internal teams, and make sure product-related documentation is accurate, complete and audit-ready. It is not a laboratory-style quality role, and it is not purely administrative either. It sits in that middle ground between technical compliance, product quality, process improvement and commercial practicality. The role You’ll take ownership of product compliance and quality activity across a broad technical product range, helping ensure products are supported by the right documentation, validation, controls and governance. You’ll be involved in things like: • Managing product compliance records, technical documentation and declarations, • Coordinating and improving internal quality control and product checking processes, • Supporting product approval and validation activity for new and existing lines, • Investigating non-conformances, product issues and returns, and helping drive corrective action, • Working with suppliers to obtain, review and maintain compliance information, • Monitoring changes in relevant legislation and assessing impact on the product range, • Completing customer compliance requests, supplier questionnaires and pre-qualification submissions, • Supporting audit preparation and maintaining a strong level of documentation readiness, • Improving systems, reporting and data management around quality and compliance, • Building clearer processes for tracking risk, documentation and supplier status, • Contributing to wider continuous improvement, sustainability and product stewardship initiatives What they’re looking for They’re open on exact background, but this is likely to suit someone from a manufacturing, engineering, or industrial environment. You’ll probably have experience in several of the following areas: • Product compliance, • Quality assurance or quality control, • Technical documentation and governance, • Supplier compliance, • Product validation or technical approvals, • Regulatory compliance within a product-based business, • Audit preparation and process improvement You do not need to have done this in exactly the same setting before, but you will need to be comfortable working in a role where accuracy matters and where the business relies on you to create order, consistency and follow-through. Key experience Ideal candidates will have: • Experience in a quality, compliance or technical governance role within a product-led business, • A working knowledge of product-related regulatory and environmental compliance requirements, • Confidence dealing with technical files, declarations, certifications and supporting records, • Experience investigating issues, spotting gaps and tightening process, • The ability to work across suppliers, operations, commercial teams and product stakeholders, • A practical, organised approach and the confidence to take ownership Why this role stands out This is one of those roles where you can make a visible difference quite quickly. The business needs somebody who can bring shape and accountability to an area that has grown in importance. So rather than just maintaining a well-established machine, you’ll have the chance to improve how things are done, introduce better structure, and become the go-to person for product quality and compliance matters. Package • Salary up to £50,000, • Full-time, Monday to Friday, • Long-term opportunity in a growing business, • Genuine scope to shape process and add value If you’ve worked in product compliance, technical quality, supplier compliance or a similar role and want something where you can really get your teeth into it, I’d be keen to speak
