Our client has been established for almost half a century and specialise in the provision of precision engineered components and solutions for supply across a diverse range of industry sectors worldwide.

They are now seeking to recruit an experienced and enthusiastic Quality Engineer to complement their professional quality team, and both develop and lead quality related improvement programmes and internal opportunities for improvement.

Actively involved in the NPI process ensuring all Quality requirements are understood and implemented, including the generation of associated downstream QA documentation, you will also be heavily involved with both third-party supplier audits and internal audits to ensure that the HPE management system is delivering expected results.

As a Quality Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring that product quality requirements are not compromised through process changes, and will be actively involved and work closely with Operations / Shop Floor, Customers and Suppliers in order to ensure that non-conformances are investigated, remediated and effective corrective actions are implemented as a priority.

Core responsibilities will include (but not be limited to):

To be considered for this varied and challenging Quality Engineer role based near Tewkesbury it is envisaged that the successful candidate will possess strong knowledge and experience of PPAP and RCA techniques with the ability to write problem definitions / statements clearly and succinctly. You will be skilled in implementing effective monitoring / metrics to support corrective actions and have demonstrable experience of working with First Article Inspections as per AS9102, with additional knowledge and experience of machining processes (CNC & conventional) proving distinctly advantageous.

With considerable proven Quality Engineering experience gained within a production environment and realistically qualified to at least HNC level or above in a relevant Mechanical, Manufacturing or Production Engineering discipline, you will also have undertaken External Auditor Training and be qualified to Lean Six Sigma Green Belt level or above.

Experience of CMM programming, organisation and planning will again prove advantageous, with the ability to maintain a high level of attention to detail within a precision engineering environment and be able to work both autonomously and as part of a team essential requirements for the position.
