We're looking for a Transformer Quality Inspector to join our team. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in getting the details right and has a genuine passion for quality.

You may already be working in quality control, inspection, manufacturing or a related technical environment. Most importantly, you'll bring a strong eye for detail, sound judgement and a commitment to doing things right. Ideally, you'll have:

• Experience in quality inspection, testing or manufacturing environments.
• Knowledge of fabrication, assembly or industrial manufacturing processes.
• Strong attention to detail and a practical problem-solving approach.
• Experience interpreting technical documentation, specifications or engineering drawings.
• Confidence raising quality concerns and driving corrective actions.
