Are you passionate about quality, precision, and making sure every product meets the highest standards? Yolk Recruitment is proud to be supporting the search for a Quality Technician to join a specialist engineering company with a strong reputation for delivering high-performance components to exacting standards.

Working in a hands-on role within the quality department, you'll inspect components, carry out lab-based material testing, and play a key role in ensuring both in-process and final products meet customer specifications. If you're technically minded, detail-driven, and looking for your next career step in a quality-focused manufacturing environment this role is for you!

  • Perform random production inspections, ensuring products meet defined quality standards and escalate non-conformances when required.
  • Raise and assist with non-conformance reports, contributing to root cause analysis and process improvements.
  • Collaborate with production, engineering, and occasionally customers to resolve quality issues.
  • Ensure full compliance with safety, environmental, and quality procedures across the site.
  • Maintain accurate documentation for traceability and audit purposes.

This is what you'll need:

  • Experience working within a similar role.
  • Clear communicator, both written and verbal.
  • The ability to pick up new skills, adapt quickly, and show initiative.

And this is what you'll get:

  • Competitive salary.
