  • Preparing and maintaining project quality documentation, from initial planning through to acceptance.
  • Leading and supporting First Article Inspections and Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs).
  • Carrying out internal and supplier audits to ensure process, procedure, and contract compliance.
  • Managing the internal audit schedule and tracking corrective actions.
  • Leading root‑cause analysis, 8D problem solving, and continuous improvement activities.
  • Supporting lessons learned, reviews, and quality investigations to drive lasting improvement.

What You’ll Need as a Quality Engineer

  • Proven experience in Quality Assurance or Quality Control within an electro‑mechanical or defence‑related engineering environment.
  • Strong understanding of engineering drawings, wiring schedules and specifications.
  • Experience with auditing and compliance (internal auditor certification preferred).
  • Knowledge of 8D, RCA, and continuous improvement methods.
  • Confident communicator, highly organised, and able to work independently.
  • Excellent attention to detail and a proactive, right‑first‑time approach.
  • Recognised qualification in Quality Assurance (C&G 743, IQA A3, Lead Assessor, or equivalent) desirable.
  • Eligible for UK Security Clearance (SC).

Why You’ll Enjoy It

You’ll be part of a forward‑thinking engineering business where quality is truly valued, not just box‑ticked. The role offers autonomy, variety, and the chance to influence real improvement across design, build, and delivery.
