QA Auditor (Manufacturing)
£36,400 + 15% Shift Allowance + Bonus | Permanent | Dartford
6am – 2pm (with occasional late shift 6pm – 2am)
Contact: Emily, Pearson Whiffin Recruitment
Are you detail-driven, process-focused and confident working in a regulated manufacturing environment?
We’re working with a highly respected, international manufacturing business operating within a quality-critical sector. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative and well-invested team where quality isn’t just a function – it’s at the core of everything they do.
This role would suit someone with experience in QA auditing within manufacturing, particularly those confident reviewing batch documentation and ensuring compliance prior to product release – this is not a lab-based position.
The Role
You’ll play a key role in ensuring products meet strict quality and compliance standards before they reach customers. Working closely with production and QC teams, you’ll be responsible for reviewing, auditing and supporting quality processes across the site.
Key responsibilities include:
- Auditing batch documentation and QC data prior to product release
- Reviewing manufacturing records to ensure compliance with internal and regulatory standards
- Carrying out shop floor and process audits in line with schedules
- Supporting the release of raw materials and finished goods through internal systems
- Working cross-functionally to resolve quality issues and improve processes
- Maintaining accurate audit and compliance records
This is a hands-on QA role with strong visibility across production – ideal for someone who enjoys being close to operations rather than purely office or lab-based work.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in QA or QC within a manufacturing environment
- Proven experience auditing batch documentation (essential)
- Strong understanding of quality systems (e.g. GMP, ISO or similar)
- High attention to detail and ability to work under pressure
- Confident communicator, able to work across departments
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, regulated environment
The Package
- Salary: £36,467.91 + 15% shift allowance
- Bonus: 3% target bonus
- Early shift: 6am – 2pm (with occasional late shift 6pm – 2am)
- Excellent wider benefits package including healthcare, pension, bonus schemes and ongoing training & development
Why Apply?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a global business that genuinely invests in its people, offering structured development, strong benefits and long-term career progression. You’ll be part of a team that values continuous improvement, collaboration and high standards.
