- Conducting Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspections when qualified
- Identifying recurring quality issues and carrying out root cause investigations
- Supporting production and engineering teams to improve quality performance
- Leading and supporting internal and external audits
- Maintaining assembly certificates, coating records, inspection reports and NDT documentation
- Training, mentoring and developing a Trainee Inspector
What We're Looking For:
- Quality Inspection experience within a manufacturing environment
- CMM programming experience
- Faro Arm inspection experience
- Strong understanding of engineering drawings and GD&T
- Experience managing detailed quality documentation
Benefits:
- £40,000 - £50,000 salary depending on experience
- Monday to Friday days role
- Structured handover from a highly experienced inspector
