An Inspection Role Built Around Your Future
Most inspector roles are what they are, this one isn't.
Our client manufactures high-precision, close-tolerance components supplying into the aerospace, automotive and advanced engineering sectors, and they're growing.
With that growth comes a need to develop their next generation of quality professionals, and this role has been created with exactly that in mind.
The message from the business is straightforward: join as a Senior Quality Inspector, and we'll invest in developing you towards Quality Engineer level and beyond. The pathway is real, the support is there, and the ambition is yours to bring.
Where You'll Earn Your Stripes
Carrying out in-process and final dimensional inspection of precision-machined components, working to tolerances measured in microns
Operating and setting up CMMs and other metrology equipment, with structured training to build your programming capability
Completing first article inspections (FAI) and inspection reports to satisfy demanding aerospace and automotive customer requirements
Performing goods-inward inspection, verifying materials, certificates of conformity and traceability documentation
Identifying and containing non-conforming product, raising NCRs with clear, accurate supporting evidence
Supporting root cause investigations and corrective actions alongside the engineering team
Managing calibration schedules and keeping inspection equipment in peak condition

Building towards deputising within the quality function — a deliberate step on the progression pathway
Because the components serve both aerospace and automotive customers, you'll gain exposure to AS9100 and IATF 16949 environments, two of the most respected quality standards in manufacturing, and a combination that makes any quality CV significantly stronger.
