Job description

Are you a keen problem solver? Do you enjoy a challenge? Do you actively seek out improvement? If so, this may be the perfect opportunity for you!

We are one of the UK’s leading independent aerospace and industrial forgers, currently seeking a Quality Engineer to join our team.

Joining our team, you will…

• Manage and improve the Non-Conformance register and maintain low NCR dwell time.
• Instigate and participate in root cause analysis, using tools such as 3C’s, 5WHY’s, and 8D’s.
• Assist in maintaining Nadcap and our customer accreditations.
• Perform internal audits as well as quality spot checks of in-progress work.
• Handle and analyze data for use both internally and externally.

What are we looking for?

As an experienced Quality Engineer, you will have a strong understanding of quality and inspection procedures. Educated to degree level in a science or engineering discipline, or with relevant experience in similar industries such as automotive, medical, or oil and gas, you will be a team player with great organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Day to day, you will be a point of contact for quality across the business and a key player in meeting business KPI’s. Quality requirements in the industry are always evolving; therefore, prior experience of quality systems (preferably ISO9001, AS9100, AS13100, Nadcap) is essential. Experience in APQP, PPAP, FMEA, or Control Plan would be beneficial, especially as much of your role will center around continuous improvement, reviewing, updating, or implementing changes, allowing you to take pride in your work.

We manufacture high-integrity, open-die and closed-die forged components in nickel alloy, titanium, stainless steel, and carbon alloys for customers and tier-one suppliers within the aerospace, nuclear, power generation, marine, and oil and gas sectors. We are unique due to our combination of open and closed-die forging while also undertaking the entire production process from raw material to finished product in one location.

What we offer?

• A permanent role with a local company for a competitive salary.
• Training and development opportunities.
• 33 days holidays.
• Pension scheme - 5% contribution.
• Bonus scheme.
• Westfield cash plan Level 1.
• On-site parking available.
