  • Responsible for the production of project documentation to meet internal PA requirements, for example, NCRs, EIDPs and inspection reports.

  • Responsibility for in-build and in-test inspection points and sign-off of associated reports of checkpoints.

  • Completion of product assurance analysis and documentation (PM&P, EEE, RAMS, Safety) as agreed with the Project PA Manager.

  • Supporting the documentation of compliance of delivered product to customer specification.

  • Supporting department cost reduction and improvement strategy.

  • Quality control documentation and monitoring within the department and function.

  • Developing process improvements and new methodologies and techniques of working.

    The ideal candidate for this role will be a current Product Assurance Engineer, with an appreciation of European space industry standards. They are however, open to considering people from alternative, suitable industries, such as aerospace, defence and pharmaceutical. Regardless of industry, you will have experience of producing inspection documentation and an understanding of configuration control principles; and associated project documentation.

    In return, my client is offering an excellent hourly rate of up to £40 per hour. This is a contract position within a minimum duration of three months initially however, with a view to it lasting much longer.
