- Develop inspection plans and quality control methodologies aligned with customer and regulatory requirements.
- Support supplier quality activities and drive quality improvements throughout the supply chain.
- Provide quality leadership during product transfers and international manufacturing projects.
- Develop future quality resource plans and play a key role in building and leading a quality team.
What We're Looking For
Essential Experience
- Proven experience in a Quality Engineer, Senior Quality Engineer or Quality Manager position within the aerospace sector.

- Knowledge of aerospace defence programmes and customer approval processes.
- Experience of supplier quality management.
- Exposure to advanced metrology, CMMs or 3D scanning technologies.
