Job Description
Job Title: Quality Inspector (Medical Devices) - Influence Change, Don t Just Log Errors
Location: Saxmundham, Suffolk
Salary: £35k-£40k + Overtime & Bonus
Shift: Double Days (6am-2pm / 2pm-10pm rotating)
The Reality Check: Most Quality roles are about firefighting someone else's mess, drowning in paperwork, and being ignored when you flag issues early. You end up feeling like a "policeman" that production tries to avoid.
The Opportunity: I am working with a Medical Device manufacturer that does things differently. In this business, Quality has a seat at the table. When you spot a process issue, you aren't just logging it, you are part of the team fixing it. The engineering team actually wants your input.
What Makes This Role Different:
-
Technical Ownership: You will be on the shop floor, using your hands and your expertise (Mechanical checks, Visual inspection, Calibration) rather than just entering data into a spreadsheet.
-
Modern Systems: They are ISO 13485 and FDA regulated, but they use digital systems that actually work, supporting you instead of slowing you down.
-
Real-World Impact: You are inspecting products that go directly into hospitals and clinics. Your work directly impacts patient safety.
Who You Are:
-
You are likely in a regulated manufacturing environment (Aerospace, Automotive, Medical, or Precision Engineering) and you are tired of standards being "optional."
-
You can read technical drawings and specs independently.
-
You prefer being part of a solution rather than just reporting problems.
-
You are the type of person who gets annoyed by shortcuts or sloppy standards.
The Rewards:
-
£35,000 base salary + annual reviews.
-
Overtime paid at premium rates.
-
22 days holiday + Bank Holidays + your birthday off.
-
Bonus scheme, dental scheme, and company pension.
-
A culture where "Quality" is a core value, not a bottleneck.
