Are you a hands-on problem solver from a high-reliability engineering environment? Do you take ownership of root cause analysis, implement robust corrective actions, and operate confidently on the shop floor?

This is not an inspection role. It is a position for someone who can lead structured problem-solving, drive meaningful corrective action, and uphold high standards within a precision manufacturing setting.

The Role

We are seeking a technically strong individual to take ownership of quality issues from identification through to verified resolution, ensuring minimal customer impact at all times.

While the title is Quality Engineer, we are equally open to Production Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, Quality Specialists or similar engineering professionals, provided you possess the core problem-solving capability and high-reliability manufacturing experience required. Job titles can be misleading; capability is what matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Root Cause Analysis using 8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa and FMEA
• Implement and verify corrective and preventive actions (not simply raise them)
• Manage customer returns and supplier corrective actions
• Interpret and confidently read engineering drawings and specifications
• Support new product introductions to ensure robust builds
• Work closely with production teams to resolve shop-floor issues
• Conduct internal audits (AS9100 / AS13100)
• Manage and process calibration activities (approx. 25% of role post-training)
• Write and amend procedures and work instructions
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives
• Ensure compliance with internal quality systems
• Processing items for calibration
• Managing calibrated gauges, instruments, CMMs, oven controls and liaising with third-party calibration providers.

What We’re Looking For

Essential

• Proven Root Cause Analysis experience (8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa, FMEA)
• Demonstrable track record of implementing corrective actions
• Experience within high-reliability manufacturing (Aerospace, Automotive, Engineering or similar)
• Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
• Hands-on shop-floor credibility
• Previous experience in a QE or engineering role with equivalent responsibility
• High level of attention to detail - your CV should clearly reflect your experience

Desirable

• AS9100 internal audit experience
• Knowledge of Continuous Improvement methodologies

Auditing and calibration systems can be further developed; structured problem-solving capability and technical credibility are the priority.

Working Hours

Choose from:

• 7:00am-4:00pm (Mon-Thurs) & 7:00am-12:00pm (Fri)
  or
• 8:00am-5:00pm (Mon-Thurs) & 8:00am-1:00pm (Fri)

Early Friday finishes every week.

Why Apply?

• Genuine ownership of quality performance
• High-impact role within a precision engineering environment
• Strong focus on structured problem-solving and continuous improvement
• Broader exposure to quality systems and compliance
• Development and progression opportunities
• Early Friday finishes

I’m recruiting for a Software Test Lead/Principle Test Engineer to join my client based in North Bristol. A critical requirement for this role is experience testing complex, mission critical systems that integrate software with connected hardware or physical devices. Many of the products combine mobile applications, cloud services, and real world hardware, so you must be experienced working in environments where reliability, performance, and safety are paramount.

You’ll be joining an exciting scale up that develop genuinely meaningful technology designed to keep frontline personnel safe, connected, and operational in high pressure environments. They are the nicest bunch of people and you’ll be part of a friendly, collaborative team and will lead testing across multiple complex projects. The role requires attendance in the Bristol office three days per week so you will need to be comfortable with this, and due to the sensitive nature of some projects, candidates must either hold a British passport or have lived in the UK continuously for the past five years to obtain the required security clearance. The organisation works exclusively on technology designed to protect people, so all projects are firmly in the “tech for good” space.

The Test Team currently consists of nine test engineers, and they are now seeking a Principal level hire to act as a senior technical and strategic figure within the team. This position combines hands on delivery with higher level leadership responsibilities. You will help shape test strategy, guide quality practices across multiple engineering teams, and ensure testing is embedded early in the development life cycle. Working closely with developers, product owners, and stakeholders, you’ll promote realistic, testable requirements and a strong culture of quality throughout the organisation.

Initially, the role will involve leading predominantly manual testing across mobile, hardware integrated, and cloud based systems, while also playing a key part in shaping the company’s continued investment in automation and AI. Current automation technologies include Playwright and Python based frameworks.

What you’ll be doing:

• Define and govern comprehensive testing approaches that ensure mission critical systems meet strict safety, reliability and regulatory expectations
• Embed within agile delivery teams, contributing to ceremonies and working closely with stakeholders to clarify and validate requirements
• Plan and execute structured testing activities, including defect management, prioritisation and clear communication of results
• Drive the growth of automated testing - you don’t need to be hands on with it yourself
• Provide expert guidance throughout acceptance, release and deployment stages to support smooth, low risk delivery
• Lead, coach and support senior engineers, fostering capability growth and encouraging best practice across the team
• Exploring emerging approaches including AI driven tooling

What they’re looking for:

• Proven experience leading or coordinating testing activities for mission critical systems
• Strong interest in technology, innovation, and AI
• Solid background in manual testing across complex systems (mobile, hardware integrated, or distributed platforms)
• Knowledge of automation tools without needing to be necessarily hands on yourself
• Familiarity with CI/CD environments (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab) and modern QA practices
• A curious, pragmatic mindset and drive for continuous improvement

This is a company where testing is highly valued and you’ll have a real opportunity to influence strategy, shape the future of testing within the organisation, and contribute to technology that makes a real difference.

The salary is up to 85,000 depending on experience.

A high-reliability engineering and manufacturing business is investing in its Quality function and moving decisively toward a “quality-first” mentality. They’re looking for a Quality Management Systems Engineer to become a key driver of that shift. They are looking for someone who will own, shape, and continuously improve the QMS, and genuinely put their stamp on how quality is embedded across the organisation.

This is an on-site, permanent position, suited to a hands-on systems professional who enjoys influencing stakeholders, improving processes, and turning “the way we work” into something robust, repeatable, and audit-ready.

Why this role

• Integral to a quality-first transformation: quality is being strengthened as a core business priority, not an afterthought.
• Real ownership and influence: you’ll have the space to challenge, improve and standardise the management system.
• Visible impact: your work will directly affect compliance, product integrity, operational performance and customer confidence.

What you’ll be doing

• Owning and developing the Quality Management System (processes, procedures, document control, governance).
• Driving continuous improvement: identifying gaps, implementing corrective actions, and preventing recurrence.
• Planning and conducting internal audits; supporting external audits and customer/regulatory visits.
• Supporting risk-based thinking and practical process control across manufacturing/operations.
• Leading/supporting management review, quality metrics/KPIs, and action tracking to closure.
• Coaching stakeholders so the QMS is used properly day-to-day, not just “written down for audit”.

What they’re looking for

• Experience in a Quality / Integrated Management System role within engineering/manufacturing (regulated or high-compliance environments beneficial).
• Strong understanding of management system standards (e.g., ISO 9001; additional standards beneficial depending on sector).
• Confident communicator who can influence and bring people with them; pragmatic, not bureaucratic.
• Comfortable working on-site and close to operations to make change actually stick.
