Quality Inspector

We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a well-known and established manufacturer, for an experienced Quality Inspector to join their manufacturing operation.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong quality background who takes pride in maintaining high manufacturing standards. Previous visual inspection experience within a manufacturing or production environment is essential for this role.

As a Quality Inspector, you will be responsible for inspecting manufactured products and components to ensure they meet the required quality standards and specifications.

A key part of the position will involve carrying out detailed visual inspections, identifying defects, imperfections and non-conforming products before they progress through the manufacturing process or are released to the customer.

Your responsibilities will include:


- Carrying out detailed visual inspections of manufactured products and components
- Identifying defects, damage, imperfections and quality issues
- Checking products against drawings, specifications and agreed quality standards
- Completing in-process and final quality inspections
- Recording inspection results accurately and maintaining relevant quality documentation
- Raising and reporting non-conformances when required
- Working closely with production and quality teams to resolve quality concerns
- Ensuring defective or non-conforming products are correctly identified and segregated
- Supporting continuous improvement and maintaining high standards across the manufacturing operation
- Following all company quality, health & safety and operating procedures


The Ideal Candidate


- Previous visual inspection experience
- Previous experience within a manufacturing, engineering or production environment
- A strong eye for detail and the ability to identify small defects or inconsistencies
- A good understanding of quality standards and inspection procedures
- The ability to accurately complete inspection records and quality documentation
- Good communication skills and the confidence to raise quality concerns
- A methodical and organised approach to work
- The ability to work both independently and as part of a wider manufacturing team


Experience using measuring or inspection equipment would be advantageous, although the key requirement is proven hands-on visual inspection experience within a manufacturing environment.
