Quality Engineer Chippenham Circa £45,000About the Company

We’re working with an innovative and growing engineering business on a mission to scale. As they continue to grow, quality is a central pillar of their success — and they’re now looking for Quality Engineer to take ownership and elevate their approach.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business where you can make a real impact, shaping quality processes and standards from the ground up.

The Role

This is a hands-on Quality Engineering role with a strong focus on both inspection and continuous improvement. You’ll be the go-to person for quality on-site, working closely with production and engineering teams to ensure high standards are met, and continuously improved.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage and drive Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs)
  • Manage the QMS
  • Lead Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs) from investigation through to closure
  • Carry out hands-on inspections (primarily visual, with some use of measurement tools)
  • Validate and approve production technicians’ quality checks
  • Analyse quality data to identify trends and improvement opportunities
  • Implement and embed robust quality processes and controls
  • Work closely with engineering and production teams to improve overall product quality
  • Support the transition from reactive quality to a more proactive, process-driven approach
About You
  • Proven experience as a Quality Engineer within a manufacturing or engineering environment
  • Strong mechanical understanding — this is essential
  • Experience working with NCRs, CAPAs, and root cause analysis
  • A proactive mindset — someone who wants to improve systems, not just maintain them
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to influence across teams

Industry background is flexible — attitude, approach, and mechanical knowledge are key.

Why Join?
  • Opportunity to own and shape the quality function
  • A role with real impact and visibility within the business
  • Mix of practical, hands-on work and strategic improvement
  • Be part of a growing, forward-thinking engineering company
  • Autonomy to implement your ideas and drive change
