Quality Inspectors - Why You Should Apply
Every other Friday off: This Quality Inspector role runs on a 9-day fortnight from day one. That's 26 extra days off a year for family, hobbies, or just a long weekend twice a month, without touching your holiday allowance.
A permanent home, not a stopgap: This is a permanent position with an award-winning South Wales manufacturer that wants someone to settle in and make the role their own for the long term.
Room to grow your skills: If you have experience in calibration or supplier auditing, there's scope to take that on too. If not, you can build those skills here.
Days only: No more nights or afternoons; you'll work days only!
Your salary, benefits & hours of work
- £28,000-£30,000 depending on experience, plus discretionary annual bonus.
- 9-day fortnight from day one: 6:45am-3:45pm Monday to Thursday, 6:45am-2:15pm Friday one week, then the Friday off the next
- Prefer a five-day week? That's also on offer: 7am-3pm or 8am-4pm, Monday to Friday
- Paid morning and afternoon breaks
