About us:

CO Manufacturing is the manufacturing hub of the £60 million turn over Conservatory Outlet Group, producing high-quality windows, doors, and conservatory roofs for a network of leading home improvement retailers, new build sites and trade businesses across the UK.

Based in Wakefield, we combine advanced technology with skilled craftsmanship to deliver exceptional products that help homeowners transform their living spaces.

Our success is built on teamwork, innovation, and a commitment to quality at every stage of the process from design and production through to delivery.

We’re proud to invest in our people, offering hands-on training, career development, and the opportunity to grow within a business that values hard work and new ideas.

About the Role:

This role works hands on within our factory environment, partnering closely with Production Managers and shop floor teams to ensure quality standards are consistently met to BSI level.

You will be visible on the shop floor, supporting teams day to day by monitoring quality, coaching where standards are not being met, and helping embed best practice across production.

A key part of the role is turning quality data and observations into practical improvements, with clear feedback provided to the Head of Quality.

Responsibilities include:

• Working on the factory shop floor to monitor product quality at all stages of production
• Ensuring manufacturing processes and finished products meet BSI and internal quality standards
• Coaching and training production staff where quality issues are identified
• Supporting Production Managers to embed consistent quality practices across teams
• Carrying out root cause analysis on quality issues and supporting corrective actions
• Monitoring defects, non conformances, and trends, ensuring issues are addressed and not repeated
• Supporting internal audits and quality inspections

What we are looking for:

We are looking for someone from a manufacturing environment with hands on involvement in quality standards and BSI compliance.

You will understand what good looks like on a factory floor and be confident working alongside production teams to maintain and improve quality.

Experience within window and door fabrication would be ideal, but we are also open to candidates from similar manufacturing processes where quality, consistency, and compliance are critical.

You will ideally bring the following experience and skills:

• Strong understanding of BSI requirements and quality compliance within production
• Background in window and door fabrication or a comparable manufacturing process
• Ability to recognise quality issues quickly and take practical action to address them
• Confident working on the shop floor with production managers and operatives
• Experience coaching, training, and influencing teams to improve quality
• Strong attention to detail with a hands on, practical approach
• Clear communicator who can provide honest feedback and escalate issues when needed
