Elevation Recruitment Group is proud to be partnering with a leading, highly regulated manufacturer in Sheffield to recruit a Senior Quality Engineer. This is a fantastic opportunity for a proactive quality professional who thrives in a customer-focused, technically demanding environment. You’ll play a key role in driving product and process quality, working closely with engineering, operations, and project management teams — ensuring world-class standards from new product introduction through to ongoing compliance and continuous improvement.

Duties & Responsibilities: Act as a key liaison for customers, managing quality issues and ensuring clear communication of requirements. Lead root cause investigations and drive effective corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). Support APQP and QMS deliverables, including FMEA, validation, and risk analysis. Plan and execute process and equipment validations (IQ/OQ/PQ) and assess process capability. Develop inspection criteria, sampling plans, and gauging methods aligned with customer requirements. Analyse and present data using statistical tools such as SPC, DOE, Gage R&R, Pareto, and regression analysis. Conduct training on quality procedures, standards, and work instructions. Perform internal audits and contribute to continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives.

What we’re looking for: Degree or recognised apprenticeship in an engineering discipline. Proven experience in a regulated manufacturing environment (medical, aerospace, or automotive preferred). Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and quality tools (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, CAPA, SPC, DOE). Working knowledge of ISO 9001, ISO 13485, or QSR compliance. Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong cross-functional and customer relationships. Detail-oriented, data-driven, and committed to continuous improvement.
