Job description

Job Title: Project Quality Engineer

Location: Camberley area (on-site)

Salary: Competitive Salary + benefits

If you're the kind of engineer who doesn't just spot problems but prevents them in the first place, keep reading.

This role sits alongside Project Managers, Design Engineers and Suppliers to make sure new products move through the project lifecycle smoothly, with quality built in from day one. You won't be policing people or sitting in a corner writing procedures no one reads. You'll be in the discussions early, shaping decisions, identifying risks, and helping teams get things right first time.

This is a high-visibility role in an environment that values doing things properly, learning from issues, and continuously improving how projects run.

What you'll be doing

• Working with project teams to define quality expectations, documentation and deliverables
• Supporting risk reviews and FMEA to identify issues early and put robust plans in place
• Creating project-specific quality plans and ensuring they are followed throughout development
• Running quality reviews at key project gates and milestones
• Ensuring internal teams and suppliers are aligned to technical and compliance standards
• Leading root cause analysis and corrective actions when non-conformance occurs
• Owning documentation, traceability and verification evidence
• Encouraging a culture of continuous improvement across engineering and project teams

What you'll need

• Experience working in a Quality or Project Quality role within engineering or manufacturing
• Good understanding of ISO 9001 and structured quality assurance methods
• Hands‑on experience with FMEA, 8D, RCA or similar problem‑solving tools
• Able to communicate clearly and influence cross‑functional teams
• Strong documentation discipline and attention to detail
• A proactive, solutions‑first mindset, not a box‑ticker
• Bonus but not essential: experience supporting design / NPI projects or stage‑gate lifecycle processes.

What's in it for you

• A role that has genuine impact on how products are developed and delivered
• Involvement from concept stage through to release, not just late‑stage firefighting
• Flexible environment that encourages ownership and improvement
• Defined progression into senior quality, operational excellence or projects leadership pathways
