Quality Assurance Manager
- Lead quality for general industrial cooling technology business with real authority and visibility
- Own ISO 9001, supplier quality & NPI across a capable five-person team
- $150K–$155K + super | Eastern Melbourne | Global reach, local base
Stop ticking boxes. Start driving outcomes. Lead quality for a global innovator where precision engineering meets pace - and your decisions halt lines, challenge suppliers and protect reputation.
Join a multinational manufacturer recognised for precision-engineered products that set benchmarks in efficiency and performance. You'll be part of a Melbourne-based operation with direct links to design and manufacturing teams across Asia, North America and Europe.
You'll lead a capable five-person quality team (inspection, QMS, and supplier quality). Own ISO 9001 certification. Modernise systems. Work directly with senior leadership. You'll have the authority to halt production, challenge suppliers and drive data-led improvement.
Global QA leadership opportunities exist for the right person. This isn't a local silo.
Cutting-edge tech: oil-free chillers, low-GWP refrigerants, rapid-shipment programs where quality protects everything.
What You'll Do
Own ISO 9001. Fix supplier issues before they hit the floor. Drive NPI quality. Reduce defects. Make data useful.
First 90 days: learn the business, identify gaps, keep the wheels on.
By six months: refine processes, introduce smarter tools, cement a right-first-time culture.
What You'll Bring
You've led quality teams in manufacturing. You've owned ISO 9001. You turn data into action. Specifically:
- Proven ISO 9001 ownership
- FMEA, 8D, CAPA, SPC and RCA experience
- Supplier quality management and audits
- HVACR or mechanical background valued
- Familiarity with ERP and ISO-driven QMS systems
Not from HVACR? Don't let that stop you. We'd rather hire a world-class quality leader from automotive or aerospace than a mediocre HVAC generalist any day.
You're Not...
A box-ticker. A "quality cop." Someone who passes problems downstream. You're firm when it matters. You build capability, not fear. You take pride in getting it right first time.
Apply now because you’ll regret the chances you didn’t take more than the ones you did.
