What will I be doing?

*Day to day you will support the running of the QMS by completing work station audits, managing compliance on the shop floor, assisting with general queries as well as completing large scale root cause analysis investigations, with opportunities to be customer facing
*You will work proactively to manage non-conformances and complete non-conformance data analysis, helping to identify key areas for quality improvement within manufacturing
*Working cross-functionally, you will play a critical role in producing key metrics and KPIs to help the business measure production quality and performance

What do I need to succeed in the role?

*We are looking for a proactive quality engineer who is happy to get involved in a variety of tasks to support the wider QMS. Crucially, you will be proficient in RCCA methodologies and ideally be comfortable with data analysis
*This role would suit somebody who thrives in an environment where no two days are the same, and who is comfortable communicating with different teams across all levels, from shop floor staff to directors
*Ideally you will have worked within a similar manufacturing or regulatory environment (aerospace, automotive, oil & gas), but we would still love to hear from you if you have a solid foundation of Quality Engineering principles
*It would be great if you have audit experience, even better if you are qualified, but if you do not then please still apply as training opportunities will be given
