Job description

Quality Engineer  - Sheet Metal Fabrication
Competitive Salary - Up to £40,000 DOE
Straight Day Shifts - 7.30am - 4pm Monday to Friday
Sittingbourne, Kent
 
Join a thriving, well-established sheet metal fabrication business where quality isn't just a department—it's at the heart of everything. If you're looking to make your mark in a role where your expertise is valued and your ideas drive improvement, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
 
The Role
 
As a Quality Engineer , you'll play an integral role in the quality function, ensuring all fabricated components and assemblies meet exacting standards for a diverse client base. You'll be responsible for:
  • Developing and implementing SOPs and WIs to standardise manufacturing processes.
  • Ensuring employees are competently following correct procedures.
  • Leading root cause analysis and corrective actions to prevent recurring quality issues.
  • Working closely with production, engineering, and purchasing teams to drive continuous improvement.
  • Maintaining and improving the QMS including leading ISO9001 audits.
This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced, sheet metal fabrication environment—perfect for someone who enjoys being on the shop floor just as much as in the office.
 
What We're Looking For
 
Someone who can demonstrate practical experience of improving manufacturing processes and resolving quality issues.  You must have experience gained in either sheet metal fabrication, subcontract manufacturing or a similar environment.  You'll need:
  • Minimum 3 years' proven experience in quality management within a metal manufacturing environment.
  • Solid knowledge of ISO 9001 systems and audit processes.
  • A keen eye for detail and a proactive attitude to resolving issues.
  • Internal or lead auditor training is desirable, but not essential.
  • Confident using precision measuring and inspection equipment.
  • Experience with quality tools, 8D, Root Cause Analysis, SPC and FMEA.
  • The ability to build trust across departments and champion quality at every stage.
Why Join Our Client?
  • Work with a passionate, supportive team who take pride in what they produce.
  • Enjoy a competitive salary and extensive perks package; and the stability of a long-standing local employer.
  • Be part of a business that values quality, innovation, and continuous growth.
If you feel that you have the skills/experience for the Quality Engineer role, please send your CV to (url removed).
