Location: East Manchester
Salary: £45,000-£50,000 DOE
Full-time | Site based
An established manufacturing business with operations in the South of England is expanding into the North West with the opening of a new fabrication facility in East Manchester.

Identify recurring quality issues and work with Operations to prevent them happening again.
Ensure appropriate inspection, measurement and traceability records are maintained.

Support continuous improvement as the ...
