Due to internal promotion, the company are looking for a Quality Assurance and Control Technician to join them and help to ensure that manufacturing operations meet quality standards.

This is a brilliant opportunity to take on an exciting, new challenge and help to maintain the quality standards of an internationally recognised manufacturer.
As the company continuously growing, there will be opportunities to progress as they do, making this the ideal role in which to build a career to be proud of.
The Role
As a Quality Assurance and Control Technician, you'll help to ensure the overall quality of flawed test specifications produced at the company.
Joining a small team and working within a workshop environment, you will:
- Test materials before, during and after production to ensure they conform to specifications
- Work in-line with the QA system, which is based on ISO 9001:2015
- Take part in some inspection activities
- Keep accurate records
- Highlight any issues to the QA/QC Manager
About You
To be considered as a Quality Assurance and Control Technician, you'll need:
- An interest in quality assurance and the engineering sector with either a degree or experience in engineering, quality or business
- An understanding of health and safety procedures
- Proficiency in using PCs and associated networks and systems (such as MS Office) to acquire, manipulate and disseminate information
- To be a confident communicator who can be assertive when needed
- Excellent attention to detail with business, admin and customer service skills
Although not essential, experience of maintaining quality assurance and quality control processes, ideally in an engineering or manufacturing discipline would be beneficial to your application. An understanding of AutoCAD would also be advantageous, as would a working knowledge of associated programs.
Knowledge of the application of relevant quality systems and standards including European Standards and ISO would be an advantage, as would experience of working with quality management systems.
