In this role, you will play a critical part in supporting and developing Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspection techniques across key component features throughout the manufacturing process.

• Participating in process improvement activities to enhance inspection capability and overall product quality.

Position Qualifications:
• Current PCN / EN4179 / ASNT Level 2 certification in Radiography (aerospace preferred).
• Hands-on industrial or manufacturing experience, ideally in a high-precision or safety-critical environment.
• Previous inspection experience is desirable but not essential if supported by strong NDT credentials.
• Confident decision-maker with the ability to communicate clearly and escalate issues appropriately.
• Competent with computer software and digital systems used in manufacturing or inspection operations.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify opportunities for process and quality improvement.
Preferred Requirements:
• Experience working within aerospace, precision engineering or advanced manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with defect categorisation, interpretation and root-cause investigation.
• Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma or continuous improvement tools.
• Understanding of non-conformance reporting and corrective action processes.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced operational setting with high accountability for product quality.
Regional Benefits:
• Work in a safety-first environment where doing the right thing and keeping it simple are core principles.
• Join a culture that values making a real difference through your work.
• Build a career in a state-of-the-art facility, blending technical inspection expertise with strong team collaboration.
• Thrive in a role that encourages integrity, accountability, resilience and curiosity.
• Collaborate in a supportive, team-focused environment while also working independently when required.
• Take initiative, build confidence in decision-making and contribute to continuous improvement.
• Grow through exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies, new inspection methods and ongoing learning opportunities.
