About the Role
This is a newly created role at a well-established technical site in Eccles. The team develops and builds specialist equipment used in complex testing environments for global clients in the marine and civil sectors. With a new manufacturing process being brought online, this position has been created to lead on quality assurance processes across design, production, testing and assembly.
