Quality Inspector - Manufacturing assembly with electrification and injection moulding inputs
Coventry
£32,000 plus 33 days holiday (including bank holidays), pension, life assurance, employee assistance programme, wellbeing support,

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 practical, detail-driven Quality Inspector to carry out incoming, in-process, and final inspection checks across complex
manufacturing assemblies. Working directly on the shop floor, you will verify components against engineering drawings, inspect
electrification parts and plastic injection mouldings, and ensure only compliant products move through production.
As part of your key responsibilities you’ll focus on:
* Shop-Floor and Goods-In Inspection - Perform visual, dimensional, and physical inspections of incoming raw materials,
sub-assemblies, and finished goods against technical specifications
* Measurement and Metrology - Utilise hand measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges) and inspection equipment to check
injection-moulded plastic tolerances and mechanical dimensions
* Defect Containment and NCRs - Identify, log, and isolate non-conforming parts (NCRs) on the shop floor, assisting quality
engineers with root-cause investigations (5-Why/8D data collection)
* Specialised Process Verification - Conduct standard quality checks on electrified sub-assemblies, wiring harnesses, and
structural welds
* Documentation and SHE - Complete Certificates of Conformity (CofC), maintain precise inspection logs, and adhere strictly to
site Safety, Health & Environmental (SHE) procedures
About You
We’d love you to have the following skills and experience, but please apply if you think you’d be able to perform well in this
role!
* Inspection Experience - Proven background as a Quality Inspector, Goods-In Inspector, or Quality Technician in automotive,
aerospace, defence, or fast-paced manufacturing environments
* Technical Blueprint Reading - Ability to read and interpret 2D engineering drawings, specifications, and geometric dimensioning
and tolerancing (GD&T)
* Practical Measurement Skills - Proficient in using handheld metrology equipment (verniers, micrometers, plug gauges, height
gauges)
* Component Exposure - Hands-on experience inspecting plastic components, electrical sub-assemblies, or welded fabrications
