Job description

Ontic, a leading licensor and manufacturer of complex engineering parts for the global aerospace and defence industries, is now recruiting for a Quality Engineer to join our growing quality team where you'll support us in our ambitious growth plans.

Ontic is more than just a business; we're a community of innovators who pride ourselves on fostering a culture where talent thrives, ideas flourish, and careers are built. We're committed to excellence, driving us to continuously improve and adapt, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of our industry.

About the role:
As a Quality Engineer, you will routinely identify and perform tasks based on the needs of the business, communicating and interfacing with all levels of staff including executive management, functional managers, customers, suppliers, and regulatory agencies. Reporting to the Operations Quality Manager, you will provide guidance and technical support to operational staff in relation to quality standards to ensure the Company's adherence to 9100 and UK CAA Regulations.

You will ensure compliance with the Ontic UK Quality Management System and Regulatory requirements (creating and updating procedures and processes). You will also provide advice and oversee Product Verification activities, i.e., product inspection, preparation of paperwork (including First Article Inspection Reports) and/or parts to support release personnel, as well as some Fault Finding.

About you:

You'll ideally have an ONC/HNC or above in electrical/electronic engineering and will have a strong understanding of AS9100 quality standards. An advantage would be previous exposure to AS9102 First Article Reporting. You'll have experience in a Quality Engineering role within an Aerospace environment and have working knowledge of the contract review process and non-conforming material dispositioning.

Additionally, you'll have great attention to detail along with the ability to read engineering drawings and check components against customer requirements. You'll have a solutions-focused attitude and a proactive approach to quality.

Benefits:

At Ontic, we care about your financial, physical, and mental wellness, so we offer a range of benefits to support this. We care about what matters to you and have a valued culture of recognition and empowerment, accompanied by benefits that support work/life balance.

Our benefits package highlights include:

1. Up to 37 days paid leave
2. 10 hours paid volunteering time
3. Annual goal share bonus scheme for all employees
4. 24/7 Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
5. Discounts and offers from a range of retailers

Best place to work:

We are more than the sum of our parts, and we've been recognised internally and externally for being so:

1. We were ranked #9 in Best Companies' Q3 leader board for Best Manufacturing Company based on our employee feedback
2. 72.5% of employees who took part in our 2023 employee satisfaction survey said they are proud to work at Ontic

No day is the same at Ontic; we have doubled in size over the last couple of years and are still in rapid growth. We attribute our success to empowering colleagues to create opportunities, fostering an environment of autonomy where we ask for forgiveness, not permission.

Our values:

Our values are intrinsic to everything we do:

1. We share a common sense - we're a global family of specialists with a shared passion for precision.
2. We have the freedom to choose - we're challengers and innovators with the freedom to think differently and challenge the status quo.
3. We create the opportunity - we're change-makers with a clear direction and can-do spirit.

We are a fast-paced business with ambitious growth plans; so if you are dedicated, enthusiastic, and always seeking ways to improve, you'll enjoy a career with us!
