Job Description:

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced Aerospace Quality Manager to join a well-established aerospace engineering business based in Maidstone, Kent.

This is a crucial hire for the business, coming at a time of planned growth and significant investment. Rather than a newly created position, this role forms part of a considered succession plan — the current incumbent will remain in post for at least another five months, allowing for a thorough and genuinely smooth handover.

This is a really exciting time to join the business, with the opportunity to step into a well-established function, learn from the outgoing post-holder, and help shape quality standards as the company continues to grow.

What's On Offer

• Salary of £60,000 – £70,000, dependent on experience
• A crucial, high-impact role within a growing and investing business
• A structured, well-planned succession with at least five months of handover and support
• The chance to join an aerospace engineering business at a genuinely exciting stage of its growth

About the Role

As Aerospace Quality Manager, you will take ownership of the quality function, ensuring the business consistently meets the exacting standards demanded by the aerospace sector. You'll work closely with customers as the face of quality for the business, and will lead a small team, providing guidance, direction, and support to ensure quality objectives are met across the site.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an experienced quality professional who can bring:

• Solid working knowledge of aerospace quality systems and standards
• Experience working directly with customers, ideally in a customer-facing quality management capacity
• Proven experience leading and developing a small team
• A background within aerospace or a similarly regulated engineering environment
• The confidence and credibility to step into an established role and build strong working relationships from day one

How to Apply

If you're an experienced aerospace quality professional looking for a meaningful next step, we'd love to hear from you.
