Job description

Head of Quality – Hadfab


Hadfab is an ambitious and growing fabrication business delivering high-quality engineered solutions across complex, multi-site projects. As we scale our operations, we are seeking a Head of Quality to lead, strengthen, and future-proof our Quality function.

This is a senior leadership role responsible for defining, governing, and continuously improving our ISO 9001-aligned Quality Management System. You will ensure all products, processes, and project deliveries consistently meet customer, contractual, and regulatory requirements—without compromise.


Reporting to senior leadership, you will act as Hadfab’s independent Quality authority, providing objective oversight of standards, audits, inspections, and non-conformance across the business. You will play a critical role in protecting customer confidence, ensuring compliance, and maintaining product integrity as production volumes, supplier networks, and project complexity increase.


Key Responsibilities


  • Define and lead Hadfab’s Quality strategy in line with business growth
  • Own and govern the Quality Management System, ensuring scalability and compliance
  • Lead internal, external, and customer audit programmes and maintain ISO 9001 certification
  • Oversee inspection, testing, and documentation to ensure full traceability and conformity
  • Manage non-conformance systems, root cause analysis, and corrective actions at scale
  • Lead supplier and subcontractor quality assurance, approval, and performance management
  • Provide independent verification across fabrication, projects, and operational delivery
  • Establish clear quality metrics, reporting, and governance for senior leadership
  • Build, lead, and develop a high-performing Quality team
  • Embed a culture of right-first-time, accountability, and continuous improvement


About You

  • Senior Quality leadership experience within fabrication, manufacturing, or engineered project environments
  • Strong working knowledge of ISO 9001 and Quality Management Systems
  • Experience leading audits, certification processes, and compliance frameworks
  • Proven ability to manage quality risk across operations, projects, and supply chains
  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to identify and resolve systemic issues
  • Confident operating as an independent assurance function in a fast-growing business
  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills at senior level


Why Join Hadfab?


This is a key leadership role at the centre of a scaling fabrication business. You’ll have the opportunity to shape how Quality operates across the organisation, ensuring growth never comes at the expense of standards, compliance, or customer trust.

Be part of building a business where Quality is not just controlled—but engineered into everything we do.
