Quality Systems Manager
Christchurch
  • Take genuine ownership of the Quality function
  • Fantastic team environment
  • Culture built on trust and integrity

 

Precision sheetmetal engineering through technology and craftmanship since 1962.

 

At Davin Industries, we don’t just meet standards—we set them. As a dynamic and growing manufacturing and engineering company, we are driven by precision, innovation, and a commitment to getting things right the first time. Our reputation is built on quality, and we’re looking for someone who shares that mindset and is ready to roll up their sleeves to make a real impact.

 

The Opportunity
This is not a sit-back-and-supervise kind of role. We’re seeking a hands-on Quality Systems Manager (potentially trade background originally) who thrives on being in the detail, out on the floor, and actively shaping how quality is embedded across the business. You’ll take ownership of our Quality Management System, but more importantly, you’ll bring it to life—working alongside teams to continuously improve processes, solve problems, and drive real outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, maintain, and continuously improve the Quality Management System (QMS) in line with relevant standards (e.g. ISO 9001).
  • Take an active, visible role in operations—partnering with teams on the ground to ensure quality is understood, applied, and improved.
  • Plan and lead internal and external audits, confidently navigating compliance requirements.
  • Identify improvement opportunities and drive practical, effective corrective and preventive actions.
  • Ensure quality documentation is clear, relevant, and actually used—not just filed away.
  • Coach and support teams to build capability and ownership of quality processes.
  • Monitor, analyse, and report on quality performance, turning insights into action.

About You
You’re not just a quality expert—you’re a doer. You’re comfortable moving between strategy and the shop floor, and you take pride in making systems work in the real world.

  • Proven experience in a Quality Systems Manager or similar role within manufacturing or engineering.
  • Strong working knowledge of ISO standards and quality frameworks.
  • Hands-on approach with a willingness to engage directly with teams and processes.
  • Practical problem-solver with strong attention to detail.
  • Clear communicator who can influence, coach, and build trust across all levels.
  • Relevant qualifications in engineering, quality, or a related discipline (preferred).

At Davin Industries, you’ll be rewarded with a competitive salary package and the opportunity to step into a role where your impact is tangible from day one. This is a position for someone who wants to shape outcomes, drive meaningful change, and see the results of their efforts play out on the ground. You’ll be part of a collaborative, down-to-earth team that values practical thinking and shared success.
