• Support and contribute to the Non-Conformance Reporting (NCR) and 8D root cause analysis processes.
• Ensure all inspection activities comply with internal quality procedures and route cards.
• Assist with the upkeep and accuracy of the calibration system.
• Collaborate closely with production and quality teams to drive compliance and foster continuous improvement initiatives.

What We’re Looking For:
• A Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship or equivalent qualification (preferred).
• Prior experience in precision engineering or CNC machining inspection is essential.
• Proficiency with a range of measurement tools including height gauges, bore gauges, surface testers, and ideally CMMs (Mitutoyo preferred).
• Knowledge of quality standards such as AS9100 or similar.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word.
• High level of attention to detail, accuracy, and excellent organisational skills.
