About the Role
Unipart Manufacturing is launching a flagship, fast-paced manufacturing project in Coventry, combining high-volume electrification
assembly with complex injection moulding inputs. Fully aligned with Unipart’s Sector and Growth Strategy and The Unipart Way
Forward Plan, this exciting venture will scale rapidly from zero to over 200 team members within a four-month period. We are
seeking a hands-on Quality Engineer to support the day-to-day quality control, process compliance, and technical assurance across
complex manufacturing assemblies - integrating electrification systems, injection-moulded components, and specialised welding
processes. Joining at the ground level, you will execute core quality activities, inspect components, and ensure adherence to
rigorous customer and defence standards in a dynamic project environment.
As part of your key responsibilities you’ll focus on:
* QMS and Process Control - Maintain quality control plans, execute process audits, and support Quality Management Systems (QMS)
across production and New Product Introduction (NPI)
* Standards Compliance - Support adherence to quality management systems (ISO 9001, AS9100) and defence procedural standards
(AQAP 2110 / DEF STANs)
* Specialised Process Quality - Perform dimensional checks, MSA studies, and quality assurance for electrification assemblies,
plastic injection moulding tolerances, and structural welds
* Problem Solving and Documentation - Facilitate internal, customer, and supplier quality investigations using 8D
problem-solving, maintaining Certificates of Conformity (CofC), and compiling PPAP documentation
* SHE and Safety Compliance - Strictly follow Safety, Health & Environmental (SHE) procedures and support statutory and security
compliance across all quality checks

* Technical Standards Exposure - Working knowledge of ISO 9001 or AS9100, with exposure to defence standards (AQAP 2110, DEF
STANs) or regulatory frameworks considered a strong advantage
* Manufacturing Inputs - Hands-on experience with electro-mechanical assembly, plastic injection moulding inspection (ISO 20457 /
