Ready to take your inspection experience to the next level?

Join a growing aerospace business, become a technical go-to within the Quality team and play a key role in maintaining the standards trusted by some of the industry’s biggest names.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Quality Inspector to join an expanding operation, bringing strong technical inspection skills alongside the confidence to guide, support and develop others.

• Using precision measuring equipment, including micrometers, verniers and other calibrated inspection tools.
• Acting as a senior technical point of contact, supporting and advising fellow Inspectors.
• Coaching and developing inspection personnel, sharing technical knowledge and best practice.
• Reviewing Supplier First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) in line with AS9102 requirements.
• Helping drive consistency, efficiency and continuous improvement across the inspection function.

What are we looking for in a Senior Quality Inspector?

You’ll be a technically capable Inspector who takes pride in getting the detail right, but also enjoys sharing knowledge and helping others develop.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Previous experience in a Quality Inspection position, preferably within aerospace, aviation or another highly regulated engineering environment.
• Strong dimensional, visual and documentation inspection experience.
• The ability to confidently interpret engineering drawings and technical specifications.
• Practical experience using precision measuring equipment, including micrometers and verniers.
• The confidence to provide technical guidance and support to others.

What’s on offer?

• Flexible working hours.
• Discretionary annual bonus.
• 25 days’ annual leave, with the option to buy or sell up to 5 additional days.
• On-site gym.
• Private healthcare options through Bupa or Benenden Health.
