Head of Site Quality

Company: Stanley Cowton International
Apply for the Head of Site Quality
Location: Irvine
Job Description:

Scotland | GMP | Step-Change Opportunity

This is not a “steady-state” quality role.

This is a career-defining opportunity to step into a site that is evolving, fast.

The Opportunity

A well-established, high-volume manufacturing site is entering a major transformation phase.

  • New customers
  • Increasing complexity
  • Higher regulatory expectations
  • A clear shift toward pharma-level quality standards

And they need the right person to lead that step change.

This is your chance to move from “managing quality”…

…to shaping what great quality looks like for the future of the site

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Step up into a bigger, more strategic role
  • Take ownership of site-wide quality across multiple operations
  • Be at the forefront of building more robust systems, processes, and culture
  • Work in a business that is growing, evolving, and investing
  • Join a collaborative, no-ego leadership team where quality is respected

This is a role where you can genuinely make your mark.

🧪 What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading QA & QC functions across a busy manufacturing site
  • Driving improvements to the Quality Management System (QMS)
  • Managing frequent customer and regulatory audits
  • Embedding a stronger, more structured quality culture
  • Partnering closely with Production to balance quality and output
  • Supporting the site as it moves toward more complex, higher-value products
  • Strong background in GMP, ISO quality environments
  • Experience leading quality within a manufacturing site
  • Proven ability to improve systems and raise standards
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
  • A hands-on leader who can influence, challenge, and collaborate

You don’t need to come from pure pharma

…but you must be able to think at that level

🚀 Who This Is Perfect For

  • A Quality Manager ready for their next step up
  • Someone who wants more ownership, more impact, more visibility
  • A leader who thrives in change, not comfort zones
  • Someone ambitious, driven, and ready to build something better

The Bottom Line

Opportunities like this don’t come around often.

A blank canvas, real backing from leadership, and the chance to play a key role in the next phase of the site’s evolution.

If you’re ready to step up and make an impact, let’s talk.
