A trusted inspection role with real authority, autonomy, and progression.

We're recruiting a Quality Inspector to join a well-established aerospace quality team, supporting airframes products across Goods Inwards, Production, OEM and Repair activities.

• Inspecting airframe components against drawings, specifications, and PO requirements
• Acting as an approved signatory for product release and certification
• Managing non-conformances, MRB activity, and inspection documentation
• Working directly with suppliers to investigate rejects, failures, and corrective actions
• Supporting audits and customer inspections
• Using a range of inspection methods, including:
  • Verniers, micrometers, shadow graphs, optical measurement
  • CMM (operation or understanding required, programming desirable)

You'll plan and prioritise your own workload, balancing quality, delivery, and compliance.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Experience as a Quality Inspector in an aerospace or regulated manufacturing environment
• Strong mechanical and/or electrical inspection background
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications
• Confidence working independently and making inspection decisions
