About the Company

Join a High-Precision Engineering Company Supporting Formula 1 & Energy Sectors. Smart Turn Ltd is an ISO-#####-certified precision engineering company with over 30 years of expertise in manufacturing high-quality components for the Formula 1 and energy industries. Based in Crick, Northamptonshire, we are proud to deliver excellence, innovation and reliability to our customers.

As part of our continued growth, we're looking for CNC Operators to join our expanding team! Whether you're experienced or looking to develop your skills, this is a fantastic opportunity to build a career in precision engineering.

QA Inspector - About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Quality Inspector to join our team. The ideal candidate will have experience in setting and operating CNC machines — or inspecting the output of one — and will possess the knowledge and skills to verify the quality of components. We are willing to consider applications from less experienced QA staff who wish to progress as long as they have experience working with precision machined metal components.

This QA position will encompass a breadth of different roles, and thus we're looking for someone who is familiar with an SME precision engineering manufacturing environment and comfortable with the manual handling of metal components.

Responsibilities

• Perform patrol, in-process and final inspections of precision turned and milled components, using various inspection tools and equipment. Inspection is primarily manual using micrometers, height gauges, verniers and screw & plug gauges. Manual CMMs are also used.
• Read and interpret technical engineering drawings.
• Maintain records and follow procedures as per the Company's ISO9001 quality system.
• Review technical drawings ensuring that components conform to the required specifications and dimensions.
• Identify and document any non-conformances and work with the production team to resolve any issues.
• Investigate customers NCRs.

Candidate Requirements (Training will be provided for the right candidate)

• Proficient in the use of inspection tools and equipment (calipers, micrometers, gauges, shadowgraphs, optical measurement machines).
• Experience of working within an ISO9001 QMS environment.
• Thorough understanding of engineering drawings.
