Job description

We're recruiting for a Senior Quality Inspector to join a leading precision engineering manufacturer supplying the aerospace sector. Reporting to the Chief Inspector, you'll play a key role in ensuring only compliant, high quality products leave the business, acting as the final quality gate before components are dispatched to customers.

This is a hands on role for an experienced inspection professional who takes pride in delivering right first time quality. You'll be responsible for carrying out first-off, in-process and final inspections, interpreting engineering drawings, identifying non-conformances and supporting the business's Zero Defects strategy.

We're keen to hear from ambitious experienced Quality Inspectors, CMM Inspectors, NDT Technicians and professionals from other quality critical inspection disciplines with strong dimensional inspection skills and the ability to interpret engineering drawings.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out first-off, in-process and final inspection of manufactured components.
• Inspect components against engineering drawings, customer specifications and industry standards.
• Use conventional metrology equipment including micrometers, verniers, height gauges and bore gauges.
• Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T and inspection requirements.
• Accurately record inspection results and raise non-conformances where required.
• Support root cause investigations and corrective actions.
• Inspect associated manufacturing documentation and route cards.
• Work closely with production teams to maintain quality standards and prevent customer escapes.
• Ensure products consistently meet the high standards expected by aerospace customers.

What We're Looking For

• At least three years' experience within aerospace, defence or another precision engineering manufacturing environment.
• Previous experience in a Quality Inspector, Final Inspector, Mechanical Inspector, CMM Inspection, NDT or similar quality critical inspection role.
• Strong dimensional inspection skills and experience using conventional metrology equipment.
• Ability to confidently interpret engineering drawings, tolerances and GD&T.
• Experience working within AS9100, ISO 9001 or similar quality management systems.
• Experience raising and managing NCRs would be advantageous.
• Strong attention to detail with a proactive approach to quality.
• Good communication and IT skills.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well established quality team within a leading aerospace manufacturer. This role is an ideal gateway into Quality Engineering for an experienced Quality Inspector, CMM Inspector or NDT professional looking to broaden their experience and develop within an established, supportive quality team.

Applicants must have permanent right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available.
