About FPRT

FirePoint Rocket Technology is building one of the most unique and strategically important industrial projects in Denmark - a new production facility for solid rocket propellant and advanced defense-tech components. Our ambition is significant: we are scaling from the early operational phase to 350+ employees within the next 18 months.

Joining us now means becoming part of the core team shaping a new high-tech, safety-critical production environment from the ground up. We are looking for a Quality Control Manager who will act as the independent eye of quality, guaranteeing the integrity and reliability of every product. 

The Role

As the Quality Control Manager, you will be the ultimate guardian of product quality, safety, and standards - from incoming raw materials to the final radiographic inspection. You will report directly to the Chief Production Officer (CPO) and collaborate closely with the Chief Chemist, Head of Process Technology, and HSE Lead.

This role is paramount for ensuring compliance with ISO and defense standards and for building a strong culture of precision and accountability across all production areas.

What You Will Do

1. Quality Governance & Control Leadership

• Define and maintain quality control standards, sampling plans, and inspection procedures across all process stages.
  

• Lead laboratory and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) operations, including radiography, MRI, and pressure/leak tests.
  

• Manage the full scope of QC: Incoming Material Control, In-Process Control (mixing, polymerization, demolding), and Final Product Control.

2. Decision Making & Compliance

• Authorize batch release or hold decisions and ensure documentation completeness before shipment.
  

• You will have the authority to stop production or block shipment in case of non-conformity or a safety risk.
  

• Ensure full recording of QC data, test results, and reports, maintaining records in line with ISO/AQAP and internal audit requirements.
  

• Prepare and support internal, customer, and external audits.

3. Defect Analysis & Continuous Improvement

• Lead root-cause investigations for non-conformities.
  

• Collaborate with Process Engineering and Production to implement effective Corrective & Preventive Actions (CAPA).
  

• Ensure regular calibration and maintenance of all QC equipment (radiographic devices, pressure testers, gauges, sensors).

4. Training & Safety Culture

• Train operators and supervisors on defect recognition, inspection criteria, and documentation discipline.
  

• Enforce strict adherence to HSE standards within QC areas, particularly in radiography, chemical testing, and pressurized systems.

What We Offer

• A rare career opportunity to lead the quality function for one of Denmark’s most unique industrial and defense-tech projects.

• A role where your expertise directly determines the integrity and reliability of safety-critical products.

• A professional, international environment with a clear mission and purpose.

• Top-of-market compensation for the right experience.

• Brand-new factory & equipment.

• Modern office with gym, sauna & social spaces.

• Real authority, Greenfield impact, Zero toxic culture, Mastery over busywork.

• Work that protects freedom and life.

• Relocation support within Denmark for candidates moving from other regions.

What We Are Looking For

You are a highly structured, independent, and safety-conscious leader with the confidence and integrity to make quality decisions under pressure.

Requirements:

• Education: An MSc in Chemistry, Materials Science, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering.
  

• Experience: 7+ years in Quality Control/Assurance within chemical, polymer, aerospace, or defense manufacturing.
  

• Proven expertise with Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) (radiographic analysis, pressure testing) and quality systems (ISO 9001, AQAP, or AS9100).
  

• Skilled in root-cause analysis (8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys) and managing CAPA systems.
  

• Deep understanding of HSE and radiation safety requirements.
  

• Excellent communication skills with both technical and production teams.
