* Decision Making: Make decisions regarding re-work and scrap in collaboration with senior managers.
* Customer Complaints: Address non-conformance reports related to customer complaints and quality control issues
* Quality equipment programming to maximise coverage and usage of inspection equipment
What We re Looking For:
* Well-versed in modern engineering, manufacturing principles and digital technologies
* Proficiency in CMM/Quality Equipment Programming (Keyence, Mitutoyo MCOSMOS, Faro preferred) and CAD skills (AutoDesk, Fusion preferred)
* Knowledge of HighQA Quality software is an advantage, although not essential
* Experience with 4 and 5 axis CNC machines is essential
* Previous experience in an engineering/manufacturing role, project delivery, and quality management
* Engineering qualification or relevant engineering/manufacturing experience
* Ability to successfully deliver change by leadership, best practice and leading by example
* Responsible, organised, and detail-oriented with a proactive approach to problem-solving and a genuine desire to keep learning and getting ahead of the curve
What you get in return:
* Circa GBP50k dependant on experience
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays (increasing with service)
* Days, Monday to Friday
* Pension
* Training
* DIS Scheme
* Career development
Immediate start available, although we will wait for the right person too.
If you are passionate about modern engineering and want to be able to make a role your own and are ready to make a significant impact, we want to hear from you.
