Quality Engineer
Location: Andover
Salary: £45,000 – £55,000
Hours: 8am-5pm Monday to Thursday, 2:30pm finish on Friday
This is a role within a fast-paced contract manufacturing environment, where quality, precision, and continuous improvement are critical to success.
Are you a hands‑on Quality Engineer who thrives in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment? Do you want to play a key role in shaping quality culture, driving continuous improvement, and making a real impact?
We're looking for a proactive, detail-driven professional to join our team in Andover, working at the heart of a high-precision engineering business.
What's in it for you?
- Competitive salary: £45K-£55K
- Great work‑life balance with an early Friday finish
- Work in a modern precision manufacturing environment
- Be part of a business that values continuous improvement and innovation
- Strong team culture with real influence across operations
The Role
This isn't a "clipboard quality" role – you'll be embedded in the operation, working closely with production, suppliers, and leadership to ensure right‑first‑time delivery.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Maintaining and enhancing the QMS (ISO 9001 & AS9100)
- Supporting compliance across environmental and health & safety standards (ISO 14001 / ISO 45001)
- Leading and participating in internal and external audits
- Driving root cause analysis and corrective actions (8D, 5 Why, etc.)
- Managing non‑conformance and supplier quality activities
- Supporting continuous improvement projects across the business
- Overseeing calibration systems and inspection controls
- Spending time on the shop floor identifying risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities
This is a high-visibility role where you'll influence culture, systems, and performance.
What we’re looking for
You’ll bring a strong foundation in quality within a precision manufacturing environment:
- Experience working to AS9100 (or similar high‑spec standards)
- Knowledge of FAIR (AS9102) and inspection processes
- Proven ability with root cause analysis tools
- Experience with internal auditing (formal training preferred)
- Strong understanding of engineering drawings and tolerances
- Confidence to challenge and improve processes constructively
- A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
Desirable (but not essential)
- Engineering qualification (HNC/HND or above)
- Exposure to ISO 14001 / ISO 45001
- Knowledge of APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC
- Lead Auditor training or professional membership (CQI, IOSH)
Why join?
- Shape quality systems beyond tick-box compliance
- Work cross-functionally and influence real change
- Build your career in a respected engineering environment
Ideal candidates will be a proactive, solutions‑focused thinker who can drive quality and continuous improvement initiatives in a high-precision manufacturing setting.
