* Monitor quality throughout the manufacturing process and ensure all products meet required specifications.
* Oversee incoming goods inspections and support the resolution of quality issues with suppliers.

* Experience in machinery assembly, maintenance, servicing, installation or testing
* The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and electrical schematics
* Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills

* The ability to work independently and as part of a team
* A relevant mechanical or electrical engineering qualification, or equivalent practical experience
* A full UK driving licence
* Willingness and ability to travel anywhere in the UK at very short notice, including same-day travel

* Willingness to undertake occasional international travel, including overnight stays
