Quality Technician

Quality Technician
Location: Rotherham (S60)
Salary: £35,000 to £38,000 depending on experience
Hours: Monday to Friday with flexible start and finish times (typically 7am or 8am start, 4pm or 5pm finish)
Contract: Full-time, permanent

In a lot of quality roles at this level, you either end up doing pure inspection with little involvement in the bigger picture, or admin-heavy work that feels disconnected from what is actually happening on the shop floor.
This role sits in the middle.

You’ll be supporting Quality Engineers, but still staying close to production. You’ll be reviewing data, working with inspection reports, and helping make sure information provided to both customers and internal teams is accurate, complete and usable.

It gives you exposure to the full quality process without being stuck purely on inspection or purely on admin.

You’ll be based in a large-scale manufacturing facility in Rotherham, supplying into sectors including defence, rail and heavy engineering. The work is consistent, the systems are structured, and the expectation is clear. Keep information accurate, support quality processes, and help maintain standards across the shop floor.

What the role looks like day to day:
You’ll be working across quality documentation and shop floor data, reviewing inspection reports, supporting audits and making sure the right information is available internally and externally.

What you will be doing:

Creating and amending quality control checking sheets.
Producing material traceability reports.
Reviewing inspection reports and confirming pass or fail status.
Creating clear, customer-ready inspection documentation.
Collating and managing quality data.
Ensuring all information is complete, accurate and properly recorded.
Supporting process audits.
Supporting root cause and corrective action investigations.
Helping implement preventative actions to reduce repeat issues. What they are looking for:

Experience in a similar Quality or Inspection-focused role within manufacturing.
Background in fabrication, machining or heavy engineering.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
Confidence reviewing inspection data and reports.
Understanding of ISO 9001 or similar quality systems.
Strong attention to detail and organisation.
Comfortable working with data and documentation.
Experience with Faro inspection or Polyworks software is useful but not essential. This role suits someone who wants to move beyond basic inspection work and be more involved in the wider quality process.

What you get:

£35,000 to £38,000 depending on experience
33 days holiday including bank holidays
Company pension
Life assurance
Healthcare plan
Costco membership discount
Monthly vending allowance
Reduced gym membership
Free onsite parking
Annual profit share bonus
Ongoing training and development For more information, please get in touch with our Sheffield Team on (phone number removed).
