Supplier Quality Engineer
Supplier Quality Engineer
Not all Supplier Quality roles are created equal.
This one sits inside a specialist aerospace engineering environment where quality decisions have real-world consequences - and where suppliers are treated as partners, not tick-box exercises.
We're looking for a Supplier Quality Engineer who enjoys being close to the detail and influential at a system level. You'll work across a diverse mechanical supply base, helping to ensure that complex components and processes consistently meet exacting standards.
In this role, you'll:
- Act as a key quality interface between engineering, sourcing, and external suppliers
- Support and develop suppliers to meet demanding quality and delivery expectations
- Use data and KPIs to assess performance, identify risk, and drive improvement
- Carry out supplier audits and quality reviews, both for existing partners and potential new suppliers
- Contribute to supplier qualification and certification activity
- Spend time on-site with suppliers in the UK and internationally, building strong technical relationships
- Help maintain robust engineering standards as production volumes and supplier complexity continue to grow
You'll be working alongside experienced engineers in an environment that values curiosity, rigour, and long-term thinking. Ongoing development is taken seriously here - not as a perk, but as a necessity - and you'll be trusted to apply your judgement rather than follow scripts.
If you're a quality engineer who wants more influence, more challenge, and work that actually matters, this is worth a closer look - even if you weren't planning on moving.
