Job Description:

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Quality Engineer to join a highly customer centric, successful, international automotive component manufacturing business in Northamptonshire. As a people-oriented organisation, and as a direct result of growth and new business wins, they are keen to hear from driven, well-educated, innovative individuals who are looking to make a difference and make the role their own. If you are a high calibre, energetic individual who is results-oriented and enjoys immersing yourself in a collaborative team environment, then this could be a great career step for you. There is genuine opportunity for development into further management.


It is essential that you have at least 3 years' experience within an automotive manufacturing environment within a Quality Assurance Engineering role, and additional exposure to injection moulding would be a huge advantage. You will need to be degree educated in an engineering discipline and hold exacting standards when it comes to quality. As Quality Engineer, you will have the positive mindset of wanting to raise the bar at every opportunity as to what sustained quality excellence looks like. You will employ a lean mindset, understand cost improvement initiatives and enjoy the creativity to develop new ideas and standards. As you will be working inter-departmentally, and liaising with a number of stakeholders, you be a natural communicator, engaging, professional and pro-active.


As Quality Engineer you will demonstrate strong knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practice relevant to the injection moulding or polymer industry as well as being highly customer oriented and service minded. You will have a strong technical and analytical mind, capable of analysing data to support the development of strategies to manage action plans, identify problems and initiate corrective and preventative actions. Additionally, you will have used Quality Tools, such as benchmarking, gap analysis, Pareto Analysis, Fishbone diagrams and process mapping for fact-based decision making, including experience of FMEA, Control Plan and PPAP.


This is a great platform to be part of a friendly and supportive business that is passionate about their people and quality of service.
