ISO **** and internal auditing experience required
A privately owned Australian manufacturer is seeking an experienced Quality Assurance Manager to take ownership of quality across a growing operation. Reporting to the Quality & Compliance Manager, you'll manage and maintain the quality system, lead audits, and give customers, suppliers, regulators and other key stakeholders confidence that everything the business produces meets relevant industry standards. You'll be working alongside a straight-talking, down-to-earth team, so the right person is practical, approachable and not precious.
About the Role
As Quality Assurance Manager, you'll run the day to day of the quality system as the business grows. That means keeping ISO **** in good shape, leading internal and external audits, maintaining procedures, and driving continuous improvement across operations. Just as significant, you'll build a real quality culture, winning buy-in across the business by being practical and credible rather than by memo.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct internal audits and support external audits to ensure compliance with the Quality Management System and ISO **** accreditation
Continuously improve, implement and maintain policies, standards and procedures
Prepare and submit routine reports as required
Develop initiatives that lift overall customer satisfaction and reduce comebacks




Foster a strong quality culture across the business, including delivering internal training on the quality system
Build and continually strengthen relationships with key internal and external stakeholders
Skills & Experience
Minimum 3 years in a similar quality role within a manufacturing environment
Solid, practical experience with ISO ****
Good working knowledge of manufacturing principles; a background in machinery design, fabrication, or heavy, automotive or mining equipment is a distinct advantage
Familiarity with modern measuring equipment such as CMM is an advantage
In-depth understanding of quality control procedures and relevant production standards
Confident with problem-solving methods such as Ishikawa/fishbone diagrams or 5 Whys analysis
Excellent attention to detail and a methodical, no-nonsense approach
Strong communication skills, with leadership experience or a clear desire to grow into it
Qualifications
Formal training in quality or internal auditing is valued, though capability matters more than the certificate
Requirements
Full Australian working rights
Why Apply
This is a chance to take real ownership of quality in a growing, privately owned manufacturer, working with a grounded team that values people who get among the work and get things done.
