We are recruiting for an experienced Quality Engineer to join a well-established engineering and manufacturing business based in Brierley Hill.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a heavy engineering environment, with the role based directly within a busy machine shop. You will work closely with production and engineering teams, taking a hands-on approach to quality assurance, process improvement and resolving manufacturing issues.

THE ROLE

Working closely with manufacturing and engineering teams, your responsibilities will include:

* Supporting APQP and New Product Introduction (NPI) activities within the machine shop.

* Preparing PPAP documentation in line with customer requirements.

* Managing customer 8D reports and Corrective Action Requests (CAR), investigating issues and implementing preventative actions.

* CMM programming experience, ideally using PC-DMIS.

* GD&T knowledge would be beneficial.
