Are you a detail-driven Quality Inspector with a passion for aerospace and precision engineering? Ready to take your career to new heights with a forward-thinking business at the cutting edge of aerospace manufacturing?

We’re excited to offer an outstanding opportunity to join a world-class engineering company that upholds the highest industry standards, including NADCAP and AS9100 certifications. This role isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s a vital position at the heart of maintaining quality and excellence in every component produced.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Conduct visual and dimensional inspections on incoming materials, in-process components, and finished products to ensure full compliance with company and customer specifications.
• Use manual inspection tools such as verniers, micrometers, and plug gauges with confidence and precision.
• Operate FARO arm equipment to inspect final assemblies, accurately recording results.
• Interpret and work from technical drawings and customer specifications.
• Identify and report non-conforming parts via the appropriate internal processes.
• Champion a quality-focused culture, leading by example on the shop floor.

What We’re Looking For:

• Solid experience in Quality Inspection, ideally with 12+ months in aerospace or a regulated engineering environment.
• Strong understanding of manual measurement techniques (vernier, micrometer, etc.).
• Experience with FARO arms is a plus — but not essential, training can be provided.
• A team player with a proactive attitude and excellent attention to detail.

What’s In It For You?

• £34,642.58 annual salary (includes shift premium)
• Rotating morning and afternoon shifts, with an early Friday finish (37-hour week)
• 185 hours holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell 37 hours annually
• Christmas shutdown – no holiday leave required
• 5% pension match scheme
• Westfield Health Scheme
• Access to 24/7 GP via the YuLife app
• Earn vouchers through everyday wellbeing activities with YuLife (steps, meditation, cycling)
• Retail discounts through Bravo Benefits – from groceries to gym memberships
• Salary sacrifice schemes for electric cars and critical illness cover
• Annual performance bonus
• Free Vend Friday – hot drinks provided by the company
• Free on-site parking
• Work with a supportive, innovative, and growing engineering team where quality, safety, and excellence come first
