Quality Engineer | £48,000 | Heanor, Derbyshire

18-24 month fixed-term contract | Site-based

Are you a Quality Engineer who enjoys getting onto the shop floor, finding out why a problem keeps happening and working with production to fix it?

Auxo Advanced Engineering is recruiting for a Quality Engineer to join a specialist manufacturer in Heanor. Reporting to the Senior Quality Engineer, you'll be the go-to person for quality in your production area, working closely with process engineers, supervisors and operators to improve product quality and prevent repeat issues.

The Role

Carry out shop-floor and process audits to spot quality issues early.

Investigate customer complaints, internal non-conformances and audit findings using 8D and root cause analysis.

Turn findings into practical corrective actions, including mistake-proofing solutions, and use quality data to identify recurring issues.

Support customer audits, certification visits and reviews of customer specifications.

Support new product introduction, engineering changes and APQP/PPAP activities.

Help production teams understand quality procedures and put them into practice through training and clear documentation.

What We're Looking For

Around 3-5 years' experience in quality assurance within manufacturing, with working knowledge of an ISO 9001 quality management system.

Experience with internal audits, corrective and preventive actions, document control and non-conformance investigations.

Confidence working with production and engineering teams to solve problems and explain quality requirements clearly.

Degree-level education or equivalent practical experience.

Experience in aerospace, automotive or motorsport manufacturing would be useful, as would familiarity with AS9100, IATF 16949, Nadcap or SAP.
