• Experience inspecting moulded plastic parts and consumable products
• Experience working in a regulated environment (ISO 13485 or cGMP a plus)
• Comfortable working in cleanroom environments and carrying out quality inspections
• A proactive mindset - confident speaking up when something looks off
• Ability to adapt quickly to new processes and inspection techniques
• Familiarity with stock control and quality documentation
• Confidence using QMS tools and systems
