Key Responsibilities- CMM Programming & Metrology:
Develop, modify, validate, and optimize CMM measurement programs, datum structures, fixturing, and probing methodologies (e.g., PC-DMIS, MCOSMOS, MODUS). - Inspection & Quality Control:
Perform high-precision dimensional inspections using CMMs, portable metrology systems, laser scanners, and CAD models against complex engineering drawings and GD&T requirements. - Customer Interaction & Support:
Maintain strong direct communication with customers to clarify technical specifications, explain measurement results, and discuss inspection outcomes. - Quality & Compliance:
Execute work within ISO/IEC 17025 and UKAS-accredited environments. Maintain measurement traceability, prepare inspection reports and calibration certificates, manage non-conformities, and support internal/UKAS audits. - Data Analysis & Continuous Improvement:
Evaluate measurement capability, uncertainty, and dimensional trends to support root-cause investigations. Drive first-time-right principles, procedure development, and efficiency improvements. - Team Guidance:
Provide technical mentoring, guidance, and coaching to Calibration Technicians, Operators, and Apprentices.
Qualifications:
HNC / HND / NVQ Level 4 or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Metrology (or recognized Engineering Apprenticeship). Certifications in PC-DMIS/MCOSMOS/MODUS or ISO GPS/GD&T are desirable.
Experience:
Minimum 3 years’ experience in precision dimensional metrology or inspection, with a proven track record of developing CMM programs. Background working in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited environment is essential. Experience in Aerospace, Defence, Automotive, or Medical sectors is advantageous.
Skills:
Expert knowledge of engineering drawings and GD&T (BS EN ISO 1101 / ASME Y14.5). Excellent verbal and written communication skills for customer-facing technical discussions. Familiarity with FAIR/PPAP processes and ERP/calibration software (e.g., Indy Soft, Met Cal) is desirable.
Workplace Focus:
