Why this role is worth looking at:
If you're a quality professional who enjoys solving problems rather than simply documenting them, this could be a good move.
You'll have genuine influence over customer quality, continuous improvement and the wider quality culture across the site. There's also scope to develop your technical and leadership skills through further training, including auditing and advanced quality tools.
You'll receive a competitive salary, pension, holiday allowance and a role where your ideas can actually make their way off the whiteboard and into the factory. There's also some flexibility around home working when required.
The opportunity as Customer Quality Engineer

Alongside the day-to-day customer quality work, you'll be involved in PPAP, APQP, PFMEA, Control Plans, process audits and continuous improvement, with a strong focus on reducing PPM, scrap, rework and the ever-unpopular Cost of Poor Quality.
