Position Overview

We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Quality Engineer for an initial 12-month contract based in Witney. Working within a dynamic, fast-paced manufacturing environment, you will play a critical role in ensuring compliance, maintaining meticulous quality standards, and approving essential documentation.

This role is ideal for a confident professional who thrives in an ambiguous, spontaneous environment, possesses a sharp eye for detail, and can work seamlessly both independently and cross-functionally.


Key Responsibilities
  • Documentation & Compliance: Manage a high volume of document approvals. Ensure all records strictly adhere to defined procedures and quality standards, ensuring secure and appropriate storage.
  • Training & Systems: Maintain and complete your own training records in a timely manner. Support the training of fellow team members on procedures, processes, and systems.
  • Quality System Support: Assist with project tasks focused on the development, implementation, and improvement of quality systems to ensure effective, compliant processes that meet business and customer needs.
  • Audits & Safety: Support internal and external audits/inspections for your functional area. Take responsibility for your own Health & Safety (and support the wider team), highlighting any opportunities for EHS improvement.
  • Business Conduct: Maintain professional communication and interpersonal interactions aligned with the company's corporate Code of Conduct.

What We Are Looking For
  • Experience: Prior experience within a manufacturing or quality environment is highly beneficial.
  • Technical Skills: Proficient with computer systems, specifically Microsoft Word and Excel.
  • Soft Skills & Adaptability: * Confident communicator able to collaborate across different departments.
    • Comfortable working in a fluid, ambiguous environment where priorities can change spontaneously.
    • An independent problem-solver who trusts their decision-making but knows exactly when to escalate or ask for help.
    • Exceptional attention to detail.

What Success Looks Like in This Role
  • Proactive Compliance: Keeping consistently on top of your own training and development.
  • KPI Management: Meeting strict time-bound requests within the internal portal to ensure things are reviewed and approved on time.
  • Business Impact: Maintaining an efficient workflow of document approvals to directly support overall business output.
