Nightshift Composite Inspector

Our leading composite manufacturing client in Banbury is seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Nightshift Quality Inspector to join their expanding, high-performance team. This is an excellent opportunity for a quality-driven professional passionate about precision inspection and ensuring composite components meet the highest standards of accuracy, performance, and craftsmanship.

As a Nightshift Quality Inspector, you will be pivotal in inspecting and verifying advanced composite components throughout the manufacturing process. Utilising a range of metrology equipment and inspection techniques, you will ensure all components meet engineering specifications while contributing to continuous improvement and maintaining exceptional quality standards.

• Inspect composite components using various metrology equipment and inspection methods.
• Conduct visual inspections and dimensional verification with hand-held measuring instruments.

• Identify opportunities to improve inspection methods and quality processes, promoting continuous improvement.
• Assist with metallic component inspections as needed.
• Maintain a clean, organised, and safe working environment at all times.
• Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and quality standards and procedures.

To excel in this role, you will have:

• A recognised engineering apprenticeship or equivalent experience in a manufacturing or quality inspection setting.
• Proven experience inspecting composite components, ideally within motorsport, automotive, aerospace, marine, or other high-performance manufacturing sectors.
• A strong understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Experience using a variety of inspection and metrology equipment, including hand measurement tools and CMMs.
• Familiarity with Romer Arms.
• Experience with PolyWorks software is highly advantageous.
• Sound knowledge of manufacturing methods and materials, including composites and metals.
