Quality Engineer

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

This is an excellent opportunity for somebody who enjoys being close to the engineering and manufacturing process rather than working in a purely systems or auditing-focused quality position.

You'll join a small quality team of 2, supporting the manufacture of complex, high-specification components. The work is varied, so you'll be dealing with different engineering and quality challenges rather than repetitive, high-volume production.

The Role

You'll be responsible for a broad range of hands-on quality engineering activities, including:

• Interpreting complex engineering drawings and GD&T
• Supporting manufacturing with day-to-day quality issues
• Managing non-conformances and corrective actions
• Root cause analysis and problem solving
• 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 within 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.
