Avanti Recruitment is working with a Precision Engineering business based near Oxford who are hiring for a Quality Engineer to join the team.

* Supporting inspection and measurement activities
* Producing and reviewing quality and inspection documentation
* Working closely with production and engineering teams
* Supporting customer and supplier quality requirements
* Contributing to quality systems and continuous improvement
* Supporting audits and quality control activities
What We're Looking For
We're looking for somebody with:
* Quality Engineering experience within an engineering or manufacturing environment
* Strong knowledge of GD&T
* Confidence interpreting complex engineering drawings
* Practical, hands-on manufacturing quality experience
* Experience dealing with NCRs, root cause analysis and corrective actions
* Experience with in precision engineering, aerospace, defence, nuclear or another complex engineering environment
* A stable career history and an interest in a long-term permanent position
Experience with CMMs, PC-DMIS, ISO standards or quality auditing would be beneficial.
The company is particularly interested in people accustomed to complex and varied engineering rather than purely repetitive, high-volume production.
