Life Unlimited. At Smith+Nephew, we design and manufacture technology that takes the limits off living.
Our Quality Engineering role will offer someone in the early stages of their engineering career an excellent opportunity to grow and develop their skills, applying them in a business that is committed, through collaboration, to changing the lives of others.
This role is all about ensuring the quality of the products leaving our factory by building strong processes and procedures, problem solving, and driving improvement.
You will work to maintain the appropriate controls and processes in place with our manufacturing partners, and make sure products follow the required standards. You will have the chance to define improvements along the way, highlighting trends in non-conformance and other data sources to instigate improvements in our products and processes.
