Thomas Smith

I’m a Technical & Quality professional with over 18 years’ experience in metallurgy, manufacturing, and quality systems. My career has focused on delivering cost savings, improving processes, and leading technical projects within medical device and forging industries. I thrive on solving complex challenges, mentoring teams, and ensuring products meet the highest standards.

I’m now looking to apply my expertise in technical leadership, quality assurance, or engineering operations roles where I can drive improvement and add measurable value.

I have over 18 years of experience in metallurgy, manufacturing, and quality management within the medical device and forging industries. My expertise includes metallurgical analysis, technical leadership, and implementation of ISO 13485 quality systems. I’ve delivered measurable cost savings through process improvements, optimised testing regimes, and enhanced production efficiency.

Skilled in cross-functional collaboration, I have supported audits, driven compliance initiatives, and mentored technical staff. I’m now seeking to apply this blend of technical depth and leadership experience in senior roles across quality, technical, or engineering operations.
