- Analyse production and business data in order to monitor business performance, reporting Quality Key Performance Indicators (KPI), including reject ppm (parts per million), reject COPQ (cost of poor quality)
- Support the APQP and NPI activities and deliver any PPAP requirements.
- To support the QC team in developing SOPs, testing methods and risk assessments

- Liaise with any contractors and issue Permit to Work documents for the QC Lab
The Individual:
- The successful candidate will be required to work flexibly/multi task within the Quality Control, Continuous Improvement and Production teams to achieve set standards/targets; using safe operating procedures relevant to the work area at all times.
- It will also be necessary to work unsupervised and, therefore, the job holder should be capable of identifying and managing workload to ensure internal/external customer requirements are met.
- This will involve effective communication with all cross functional team members in particular Production. Knowledge of quality systems (ISO 9001 and TS16949) and an associated qualification may be an advantage.
- Analytical and problem solving skills, along with accuracy/attention to detail are required
The company prides itself on creating an inspiring environment for employees, generating an ethos of entrepreneurial spirit and rewarding opportunities. There are definite long term career options for the right candidate, plus a great environment to work in.
