Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Inspection and goods-in roles anchor the band, quality technicians sit in the middle and quality supervisors at the top; aerospace, automotive and medical devices pay most and require CMM, PPAP or ISO 13485 experience. Quality engineers and managers sit above this band.
