We are looking for an outstanding individual who can ensure compliance of our timber products from a quality, legal and ethical perspective.
Reporting to our Quality and Assurance Manager and working under the General Manager of the site and very closely with the Supply Chain team, you will be responsible for:
- Conducting relevant investigations into non-conformances.
- Analysing problems, trends and reject product levels, creating corrective and preventative action plans.
- Creating, coordinating and delivering improvement plans to enhance efficiencies, quality standards and product specifications.
- Managing the approved suppliers record, linking the management of risk-based audits and ensuring relevant performance data is available.
- Working with suppliers to ensure product quality and support them in implementing robust corrective actions.
- Conducting supplier visits in the UK and Europe.

Additionally, if you have knowledge of FSC & PEFC chain of custody standards, European & UK Timber Regulations, ISO9001 & 14001 business management standards, this would be fantastic.
