If you like quality that's hands-on, practical, close to the machines and actually seeing your fixes work, you'll feel at home here.
Why this role stands out
Real variety: bespoke customer parts, so you're not always going to be inspecting the same job on repeat
Investment and growth: a machining business that's expanding and putting money into equipment and capability
Proper influence: you'll help shape how production is set up, not just tick the box at the end
Support without being micromanaged: reporting into the Group Quality Manager with guidance and development
Day shifts with a life outside work: Monday to Friday days and an early finish on Friday
What you'll be doing
You'll be the person making sure quality is built into the process. Working closely with production, you'll help set jobs up the right way, spot trends early, and keep standards tight as the company continues to grow. Because every project is customer-specific, you'll be juggling different components, tolerances and requirements, which keeps the role interesting. You'll also play a key part in keeping the business audit-ready and customer-confident.
What you'll need:
Experience in quality within a metal machining / CNC environment
Working knowledge of ISO 9001 and how a QMS operates day to day
Confidence with measurement, calibration and process checks on the shop floor
Basic FANUC CNC programming understanding (enough to follow what's happening and challenge issues)
A practical, sleeves-rolled-up approach (mechanical/fitting experience is useful) What's on offer:
£40,000 basic salary
Monday to Friday days (with an early finish on Friday)
25 days holiday + bank holidays
5% company pension contribution
Company profit scheme
Training, support and genuine opportunity to grow with the business
This could suit someone who's been a: Quality Engineer, Quality Inspector, Quality Technician, QC Engineer, Manufacturing Quality Engineer, Process Quality Engineer, or someone from machining looking to step up into a broader quality role
