• Ensure inspection records are completed accurately and maintained in line with company procedures.


• Maintain high standards of quality, housekeeping and health & safety.

The Candidate

You should have:

• Previous experience as an Inspector, Quality Inspector or Inspection Engineer.


• Experience operating CMM equipment, with programming experience highly desirable.


• Experience inspecting precision CNC milled and turned components.


• The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T.


• Experience using a wide range of precision measuring equipment.


• Knowledge of First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) and quality documentation.


• Excellent attention to detail and a proactive approach to quality.


• Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with Production and Engineering teams.

Package

• £36,000 - £40,000 per annum.
