Are you an experienced Quality Inspector from the precision engineering or manufacturing sector? If so I'd be keen to hear from you.

In this role you'll be working on a shift pattern of 7-7 days and nights but only on a Monday to Friday basis. The shift pattern means you'll work a four day week followed by 2 3 day weeks meaning that not only do you get your weekends off but you also get days off during the week and only have to commute 3 or 4 times a week.

Here's what you'll do:

• Carrying out formal evaluation and inspection checks of machined product in accordance with defined manufacturing procedures, SOPs, drawings and quality standards, using a wide range of inspection equipment (e.g. gauges, verniers, micrometers, shadowgraphs, surface finish measuring equipment).
• Ensuring measurements and checks are correctly recorded on the relevant platform (written report, excel data entry, IFS data entry, etc.)
• Supporting the determination of acceptable and unacceptable product using analytical and decision making techniques.

• It is essential that candidates have an understanding and application of metrology processes, as well as be able to manage their work to ensure timely validation and assessment of components produced in a high paced manufacturing department.
• The ability to accurately measure, assess and record dimensions/values is a necessity, and the candidates are expected to be able to read and understand engineering drawings and terminologies.
• Successful candidates will also be IT literate, with experience of spreadsheet data entry. 
• Experience of using an ERP system would also be an advantage.
• The role will often be independent of the wider quality team so it is also important that candidates are self-motivated.
