Location: Telford

Salary: £40,000 - £50,000 + excellent benefits

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Recruiter: Retained search - Jonathan Lee Recruitment

We are delighted to be partnering with a well-established, forward-thinking business on an exclusive basis to recruit a Compliance Coordinator. This is a newly created role designed to bring focus and structure to an area of the business that has until now been split between engineering and quality functions.

As the company continues to grow across international markets, the importance of consistent, well-managed regulatory compliance has never been greater. This role offers the opportunity to build and lead the compliance function across UK operations, with scope to work closely with a variety of internal and external stakeholders.

You'll play a central role in identifying and interpreting changes in legislation and regulations across multiple regions (UK, Europe, USA, and the Middle East), translating these into clear and actionable guidance for internal teams. You'll also be responsible for maintaining key quality systems (including ISO 9001), updating technical documentation, and supporting the business through audits and compliance submissions.

A key part of the role will be working closely with colleagues in Europe, so building strong international relationships and being comfortable with occasional travel will be important.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Researching, monitoring and interpreting legislation and regulations across multiple regions
• Communicating compliance updates clearly and concisely across departments
• Liaising with international counterparts to ensure consistency and alignment
• Preparing, maintaining and submitting regulatory applications and documentation
• Managing and updating ISO 9001 standards and ensuring the site remains audit ready
• Supporting the implementation of process improvements based on regulatory changes
• Working with third-party labs for product testing and technical specifications
• Keeping detailed records and version-controlled documentation
• Verifying supplier certifications and ensuring regulatory requirements are met.
• Attending industry events, forums and meetings to remain up to date with sector changes
• Working with legal and quality partners to create and review compliance-related policies
• Preventing shipment of export-prohibited products through checks and controls

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience in a compliance, regulatory or quality auditor role, within a manufacturing or engineering environment
• Strong understanding of ISO 9001 and broader regulatory frameworks across international markets
• The ability to interpret technical and legal information and translate it into practical, easy-to-understand guidance
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail, especially in managing documentation and audit preparation
• Confident working independently and cross-functionally, with excellent communication skills
• Comfortable working with international teams and travelling to sites in Europe as required
• A proactive and collaborative approach to problem solving and continuous improvement

What's on offer:

• Salary up to £50,000 depending on experience
• Bonus
• Excellent benefits package
• The opportunity to shape and define a newly created role
• A collaborative and supportive team environment
• Genuine autonomy and exposure to international operations
• Working for a business that has low staff turnover, promotes from within and puts there staff wellbeing as their top priority

This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a key function within a growing, progressive business. If you're looking for a varied, hands-on role where you can make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
