Senior QA Manager (Medical Manufacturing)

Senior QA Manager (Medical Manufacturing) - Cornwall - £87,000 + Excellent company performance linked bonus  

On first glance, the odds might appear to be against us on this recruitment project. A highly technical role requiring a suitably qualified individual with significant skills and experience gained in the medical manufacturing sector. And based in Cornwall…

But the reality is brighter and our optimism is high. The role represents an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious QA professional. An opportunity to join an undisputed leader in their field, with global reach and with almost limitless potential for career development in a business with envious staff retention and development credentials. A role that offers an impressive remuneration package, a lucrative bonus, and excellent benefits. And it’s based in Cornwall one of the most beautiful and sought after counties to live in the UK (we admit, we’re a little biased).
