* Promote and support self-inspection practices on the shopfloor

* Support the Quality Manager with Continuous Improvement (CI) initiatives

* Provide training and guidance on internal reject notes

* Provide cover for ERP NCR log activities during holidays and sickness

* Work closely with production teams to identify quality issues and implement corrective actions

Essential Requirements for the Quality Assurance Inspector:

* Experience with CMM inspection and manual inspection techniques

* Proven experience investigating nonconformities

* Strong understanding of Quality Management Systems (QMS) and quality standards

* Ability to drive quality improvements and implement best practices on the shopfloor
