Contract Quality Engineer

Description:

Contract Quality Engineer 
I’m supporting a client entering a critical phase - the kind where quality isn’t a department, it’s the backbone of every manufacturing decision. They need a hands-on Quality Engineer who understands aerospace expectations and can confidently work between factory floor, suppliers, and international stakeholders.
This is a long-term engagement running through to the end of 2026, offering stability alongside meaningful technical influence.

The Environment
You’ll operate across engineering and manufacturing teams, ensuring compliance, resolving non-conformances, and strengthening processes where precision genuinely matters. Expect autonomy, visibility, and the opportunity to shape standards rather than just follow them.
What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting and maintaining AS9100 compliant quality processes
• Investigating and resolving non-conformances & root cause analysis
• Working closely with manufacturing and engineering teams
• Supplier quality engagement & on-site audits
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives
• Acting as a key quality interface with international stakeholders
• Ensuring documentation, traceability and process robustness

Experience Needed

• Aerospace sector quality engineering experience
• Strong manufacturing / engineering background (not purely documentation)
• Working knowledge of AS9100 standards
• Comfortable in supplier & customer-facing situation
• Able to travel internationally (Geneva 30–40%)
• French language skills desirable (not essential but beneficial)
