Quality Engineer

You’re a Quality Engineer who thrives on getting things right the first time.

In this role, you will play a key part in producing PPAP and APQP documentation, solving root-cause problems, and embedding robust quality systems across the business. You will work closely with operations to ensure quality is not a bolt-on process, but fully integrated into manufacturing.

This is not a desk-based role. You will be hands-on, working directly with production teams to understand their challenges and implement practical, effective quality solutions.

The day-to-day;

Producing PPAPs and associated documentationLeading APQP documentation processesManaging customer rejections and corrective actionsOverseeing calibration systemsImplementing and tracking corrective measuresVisiting suppliers as requiredConducting internal and external audits

To succeed in this particular role, you’ll be challenging, curious, composed and authoritative. You won’t rush in without understanding the bigger picture. You’ll bring structure, clarity and accountability to quality systems across the business. The key is to influence the production team so that they want to work with you, rather than having to.

You’ll be empowered to make a genuine impact with real independence
