• Produce and control WPS, inspection/test plans, traceability records
• Solve technical challenges and drive continuous improvement

• 🔧 Heavy engineering experience — one-off/batch environments preferred
• 🔥 Strong knowledge of welding standards & processes (ARC, MIG, TIG)
• 📑 Hands‑on with ISO 9001 systems & technical documentation
• 📈 Proven track record delivering unique, tailored engineering projects
