The successful candidate will also be responsible for preparing and checking completed jobs ready for despatch, ensuring all components, quantities, paperwork and quality documentation are correct before goods leave site.

• Check jobs are complete and ready to leave site
• Verify correct quantities, paperwork and quality documentation
• Work with production and despatch teams to resolve issues before goods are released
• Support continuous improvement and maintain high quality standards
• Follow all Health & Safety and quality procedures

• Previous experience as a Quality Inspector, Engineering Inspector or similar manufacturing role
• Ability to read and understand engineering drawings
• Experience using inspection and measuring equipment
• Good understanding of tolerances and dimensional inspection
• Strong attention to detail
• Good communication skills
