Job description

Our client is going through a sustained period of growth and with several recent significant business wins they are looking for an experienced quality control (QC) inspector/co‑ordinator. While you’ll also support stores, packing, and shipping, the main focus of this role is ensuring that every component meets exacting engineering standards.

• QC inspection (core focus): Inspect internally and externally produced components against drawings/specs using GD&T and metrology tools.
• Reporting: Maintain clear and accurate inspection records, NCR registers, calibrations, and related documentation.
• Continuous improvement: Support quality initiatives, suggest improvements, and help drive best practice across production.
• Supportive tasks (training provided): Book in, locate, and manage stock using ERP/MRP.
• Prepare components for road/air/sea freight and complete shipping documentation.
• Follow safe manual‑handling and 5S practices to maintain an organised shopfloor.

You will have a background in mechanical engineering and a strong hands‑on QC inspection background with engineered components. You will have the ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and apply GD&T principles.

This is a great opportunity to become the quality champion in a collaborative engineering environment.

This role is based Monday to Friday (half day) and offers a fantastic salary and benefits package.
