There is less of an emphasis in terms of managing the QMS and more about someone being operationally driven.

Preferably you will come from a precision engineering or fabrication background, but we can possibly consider a wider manufacturing background.

• Carry out and oversee hands-on quality inspections of components, fabrications, assemblies and finished products throughout the manufacturing process.
