This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing specialist manufacturer where you'll gain exposure to the full quality lifecycle while developing valuable technical and commercial skills.
You'll benefit from:
* Mentoring from an experienced Senior Quality Manager
* Exposure to testing, inspection and quality engineering activities
* Genuine career progression opportunities
* A varied role with broad responsibility
