Quality Manager -- asking too much?
Hello all,
I've applied for a role as a Quality Manager at a prefabricated timber products facility and I've been invited for the final interview which involves a discussion with the higher ups and a brief presentation. I'm currently in two minds as to go for it or send an email thanking them for their time but saying ultimately this position is not for me.
My issue isn't my ability to sell myself or my capabilities in the role. It's what they're actually asking for this role.
Ranging from:
Viual inspections of products before being handed over to production
Establishing a training package for all new employees.
Handling customer complaints
Being "hands on" around the production line
Establishing accountability for errors
And a list of very wishy-washy KPIs
This will be my first dedicated role in Quality however I've dealt with / been part of a strenuous Quality environment for over 16 years.
They currently have no existing QMS and I'm just left feeling this is sort of a knee jerk position they have invented to deal with issues across the board and want a one size fits, quick fit however don't want to pay hefty external consultancy fees.
Starting salary is £44k a year and it sounds like it's not worth the stress, am I being dramatic?
When (if) I get the role will it not be as daunting or, from your experience, is it a role destined to fail, with it not having an established QMS and no previous incumbent for a HO/TO?
Just for context, in terms of size, it's quite a large company with annual profits of £7mil
Personally, I don't lead a lavish life style and live within my means so I can take or leave the money and just get some zero-stress part time job as an alternative.
Thanks for all of your help in advance!
