We are supporting an established manufacturing business to recruit a Quality Inspector. This is a hands-on opportunity to help ensure products meet customer specifications and quality standards throughout the manufacturing process.

We are open to candidates from a range of manufacturing and engineering backgrounds. Experience in inspection, product testing or quality assurance is relevant, alongside a methodical approach and strong attention to detail.

The role

Working closely with Quality, Production and Engineering colleagues, your responsibilities will include:

• Inspecting incoming materials, work in progress and finished products against drawings, specifications and customer requirements.

• Carrying out checks and tests using appropriate inspection and measuring equipment.

• Recording inspection results, identifying defects and raising quality concerns.

• Supporting investigations into non-conforming products and customer returns.

• Preparing and updating inspection procedures, test plans and checklists.

• Maintaining calibration records and checking inspection equipment.

• Helping improve product quality, manufacturing processes and ways of working.

• Learning product-specific testing methods and supporting the development of test procedures.

About you

You will bring practical experience in a quality, inspection or testing role within manufacturing or engineering. You should be comfortable reading technical drawings or specifications, using measuring equipment and maintaining accurate records.

We are looking for someone who communicates well, works closely with colleagues and takes pride in getting things right. You will be confident highlighting issues and keen to develop your technical knowledge.

An engineering or quality qualification would be useful, although we are also open to candidates who have developed their skills through hands-on experience.
