Verso Recruitment are supporting a leading manufacturing business who are now seeking a hands-on Quality Engineer. This role is perfect for those who have an eye for detail, thrive in dynamic environments, and are passionate about seeing their improvements come to life on the shop floor.

Why This Role Stands Out:

- Impactful Work: Your contributions will directly influence manufacturing standards, ensuring high-quality workmanship and reducing rework.

- Diverse Responsibilities: Engage with production, engineering, and supply chains, offering a varied and enriching work experience.

- Professional Growth: Collaborate with design and development teams, suppliers, and customers, broadening your expertise and professional network.

- Continuous Improvement: Play a pivotal role in maintaining and enhancing the company’s management systems, driving both quality and environmental standards.

Key Responsibilities for the Quality Engineer:

- Maintaining High Standards: Monitor and enhance production quality, lead corrective actions, and ensure manufacturing standards are consistently met.

- Customer Quality Liaison: Investigate issues, host inspections, support audits, and manage product recalls.

- Product Development Support: Partner with design and development teams to ensure new products are robust and easy to build.

- Supplier Collaboration: Work with suppliers to maintain material quality, resolve issues, and track performance.

- System Management: Help maintain and improve management systems, including internal audits and compliance with recognised standards.

Skills and Experience Required for the Quality Engineer:

- Experience: Minimum of 3 years in a quality-focused engineering role within manufacturing.

- Technical Proficiency: Strong background in inspecting electrical, electronic, and mechanical components against technical drawings/specifications.

- Analytical Skills: Confident using quality investigation tools and techniques to identify root causes and deliver sustainable solutions.

- Inspection Equipment: Skilled with micrometers, verniers, and other measuring tools.

- Interpersonal Skills: Comfortable working with customers, suppliers, and colleagues at all levels to resolve technical quality issues.

- Data Analysis: Able to analyse data, present findings clearly, and drive process improvements.

- Security Clearance: Eligible to gain relevant security clearance.

About the Ideal Candidate:

Methodical and detail-oriented, the ideal candidate is not afraid to speak up when something needs attention. They can translate technical findings into clear, actionable solutions and are equally comfortable in the workshop and in front of a client or auditor.
