Make quality matter where it counts
PJD Mechanical Engineering is looking for an experienced Quality Assurance Engineer to join our SHEQ team.
This is a hands‑on, varied position for someone with strong knowledge of fabrication, welding and engineering quality. You will work closely with workshop, site and project teams to ensure work is completed safely, correctly and to the standards expected by our customers.
What you’ll be doing
You will support quality assurance activities throughout the full project lifecycle, from initial planning through to final documentation and client acceptance. Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting welding quality assurance, inspection and material traceability.
- Preparing and reviewing project quality documentation.
- Coordinating NDT, heat treatment and pressure-testing activities.
- Monitoring supplier and subcontractor quality requirements.
- Supporting internal, external and project audits.
- Investigating non-conformances and helping implement practical improvements.
- Liaising with clients, third-party inspectors and operational teams.
- Supporting company certifications, approvals and quality standards.
This is an opportunity to influence how quality is managed across the business and help prevent issues before they arise.
What we’re looking for
You will have practical experience within a fabrication, welding or engineering environment and the confidence to apply quality requirements in both workshop and site settings.
Ideally, you will hold:
- CSWIP 3.1.
Experience of BS EN ISO 3834, BS EN 12952, BS EN 13480, ASME IX, ASME B31.1 or ASME B31.3 would be advantageous.
You will also be organised, solutions-focused and able to build effective working relationships while maintaining the standards expected by the business and its customers.
The role is based from Colwich but requires regular travel to company and customer sites. During busy periods, you must be prepared to work away from home for extended periods.
You may also be required to provide temporary support at other businesses within the Ropsley Group from time to time.
You will join an established mechanical engineering business delivering technically demanding projects for major customers. You will benefit from a varied workload, exposure to different projects and environments, and the opportunity to make a visible contribution to quality across the business.
