About MNB Precision

MNB Precision is a Coventry based precision engineering business with over 40 years of experience, supplying high-integrity components into demanding sectors including Oil & Gas, Defence, Power Generation, Rail and Heavy Industry.

We specialise in complex, tight-tolerance work, machining a wide range of materials from carbon steels through to stainless and exotic alloys. Our continued growth is driven by investment in people, machines and facilities — and we’re now looking to strengthen our machining team.

We are seeking an experienced Quality Assurance Inspector to join our quality team in a precision manufacturing environment. This role will be primarily based within the inspection department but will involve regular shopfloor presence, supporting quality standards across production.

The successful candidate will play a key role in roaming inspection, investigating nonconformities, and supporting continuous improvement activities, while helping to drive a culture of self-inspection and quality ownership on the shopfloor.

Key Responsibilities for the Quality Assurance Inspector:

• Carry out roaming inspection activities across the shopfloor to ensure compliance with quality standards
• Investigate internal nonconformities and customer reject notes (CRNs)
• Conduct CRN enquiries and root cause investigations
• Monitor adherence to the Quality Management System (QMS) and established quality procedures
• Investigate goods received issues and supplier nonconformities
• Promote and support self-inspection practices on the shopfloor
• Support the Quality Manager with Continuous Improvement (CI) initiatives
• Provide training and guidance on internal reject notes
• Provide cover for ERP NCR log activities during holidays and sickness
• Work closely with production teams to identify quality issues and implement corrective actions

Essential Requirements for the Quality Assurance Inspector:

• Experience with CMM inspection and manual inspection techniques
• Proven experience investigating nonconformities
• Knowledge of CRN investigations and resolution processes
• Strong understanding of Quality Management Systems (QMS) and quality standards
• Ability to drive quality improvements and implement best practices on the shopfloor
• Proactive attitude with the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
• Experience within precision manufacturing or engineering environments

Desirable Skills

• Experience supporting continuous improvement initiatives
• Ability to communicate quality standards effectively to production teams
• Experience working with ERP systems for NCR logging

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work in a high-precision manufacturing environment
• Involvement in quality improvement and operational excellence initiatives
• A collaborative team environment focused on continuous improvement and quality standards

If you are a motivated quality professional with experience in precision engineering and quality investigations, we would welcome your application for the Quality Assurance Inspector role.
