• Supporting continuous improvement activities across the shop floor
• Ensuring compliance with internal quality procedures and safety standards
• Escalating serious quality concerns to the Quality / H&S Manager
• Supporting general manufacturing quality control processes as required

You will bring:

• Previous experience in QC, inspection, production, or manufacturing environments
• Strong attention to detail and ability to spot defects or inconsistencies
• A practical, hands-on approach to work on the shop floor
• Good communication skills when working with production teams
• Ability to follow processes and maintain accurate records
