* Supporting continuous improvement across the business
* Participating in management review meetings with the production team

* End-to-end FAIRs experience to customer sign-off — this is the key requirement
* AS9100 and ISO 9100 knowledge and audit qualification
* EASA awareness
* Ability to interpret engineering drawings and specifications
* Experience managing or supervising a small team (2 experienced inspectors)
