Senior Quality Engineer in Nottingham

Far-UK Ltd is a progressive company which develops composite materials and components to improve lightness, quality, cost and performance of customers’ products. The company designs, analyses and manufactures composite components, specialising in carbon fibre. We also design and deliver processes up to and including full factories for clients in order that they can manufacture these products themselves. The company operates from its main site in Nottingham and is expected to continue growing over the next few years. Far-UK is committed to excellence in its people as well as its technology. As a result, we are committed to the following principles:

• To be an equal opportunities employer. We look for the strengths in all people and we seek to encourage them to grow and develop.
• Good teams are more than the sum of their parts. Working together as a team gives us a competitive advantage and one we are committed to maintain.
• We aspire to be the best that we can be. This means that every individual is expected to contribute to their own development and to help others develop where they can. It also means that we hold ourselves up to the highest standards in everything we do.

Role Description: We are a growing company and we need someone who can grow with us. Initially this is a full-time, on-site role for a Senior Quality Engineer based in Nottingham. The Senior Quality Engineer will lead our quality journey from where we are now (ISO9001) to becoming a proven AS9100 company. If you understand what that means you have a pretty good idea what the job entails. The role also involves mentoring team members to build a culture of quality excellence across the organization. Critically the job involves growing yourself into a bigger role as the company grows around you.
