Quality Control Supervisor

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Quality Control Supervisor to join and lead our expanding Quality Control Department. This is a critical role at the heart of our operations, ensuring that every part we manufacture, assessable, or procure is built to win – and built to last.

As the Quality Control Supervisor, you will take ownership of the inspection process across key projects, components, and assemblies. Working with both in-house teams and external suppliers, you’ll ensure that quality is never compromised, from initial receipt through to final fitment on our competition cars.

The role responsibilities include:

• Carry out detailed inspection of precision components using a variety of tools (CMM, manual gauges, micrometres, calipers etc).
• Inspect complex engineering drawings, CAD models, and geometric tolerances (GD&T).
• Approve or reject components based on strict motor sport quality standards.
• Lead root cause analysis and support continuous improvement initiatives.
• Maintain accurate inspection reports and contribute to quality documentation and traceability.
• Work closely with engineering, production, and procurement teams to resolve quality-related issues.
• Support audits, supplier assessments, and first article inspections (FAI).
• Providing feedback to internal Department Heads in respect of quality assurance outcomes.
• Training and mentoring Junior Inspectors, sharing knowledge to ensure best practice for future development.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for a self-motivated team player with a positive and enthusiastic attitude. The ideal candidate will be:

• Proven experience in a senior or lead inspection role within motor sport, aerospace, or precision engineering.
• Deep understanding of high-performance manufacturing standards and tolerances.
• Hands-on experience with CMM (ideally both manual and programmable) and conventional inspection equipment.
• Strong working knowledge of ISO 9001 or AS9100 quality systems.
• Able to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications.
• Highly organised with meticulous attention to detail.
• Computer literate with strong MS Office skills.
• Skilled in multitasking and prioritising workloads under pressure.
• Excellent communication skills, and a keen eye for problem solving and implementing solutions with an analytical approach.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

Preferred Experience:

• Familiarity with carbon fibre, composite materials, and high-performance alloys.
• Knowledge of MRP/ERP systems and digital quality tools.
