Job Description
StaffDirect is partnering with a leading manufacturing and production client based in the industrial heartland of Warrington to recruit a diligent and experienced Quality Control Inspector. This is a pivotal role within a fast-paced environment, ensuring that all products leaving the facility meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and client specification. Our client operates within a critical supply chain, serving sectors from automotive to advanced engineering, making the role of the inspector fundamental to their reputation and operational success. If you have a keen eye for detail and take pride in upholding rigorous standards, this position offers a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a well-respected local employer.
As a specialist in connecting talent with opportunity across the North West, StaffDirect understands the specific demands of the Warrington industrial sector. Applying through us means you gain access to a dedicated consultant who will advocate for you, streamline the onboarding process for an immediate start, and provide ongoing support throughout your assignment. Whether you're seeking a long-term temp-to-perm opportunity or flexible work to fit your schedule, we bridge the gap between skilled professionals like you and the businesses in Warrington and surrounding areas like WA4 that need reliable, quality-focused staff. We don't just fill vacancies; we build lasting professional relationships.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct detailed visual and dimensional inspections of components, assemblies, and finished goods using precision measuring equipment such as micrometres, callipers, gauges, and CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) techniques.
- Perform first-off, in-process, and final inspections in line with defined quality control procedures and engineering drawings, ensuring strict adherence to tolerances and specifications.
- Accurately document all inspection results, maintaining clear and traceable records in quality management systems. This includes raising non-conformance reports (NCRs) and supporting root cause analysis for any defects identified.
- Work collaboratively with production supervisors and machine operators to provide real-time feedback on quality issues, supporting a culture of continuous improvement and preventive action on the shop floor.
- Calibrate and maintain inspection equipment, ensuring all tools are in certified working order and that the inspection area is organised and compliant with health, safety, and 5S standards.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Quality Control Inspector, preferably within a manufacturing, engineering, or precision assembly environment. Familiarity with ISO 9001 standards is highly advantageous.
- Strong practical competency in using a wide range of manual and digital inspection equipment, with the ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
- A meticulous, methodical, and proactive approach with an unwavering commitment to accuracy. You must be confident in making independent judgements on product quality and have the communication skills to report findings effectively.
- A flexible and reliable work ethic, with the ability to start immediately. A full UK driving licence and own transport are beneficial due to the industrial location of some sites in and around Warrington.

Frequently Asked Questions
What experience do I need to be a Quality Control Inspector in Warrington?
Most roles require hands-on experience in a manufacturing, engineering, or assembly environment using precision measuring tools. Familiarity with engineering drawings and a basic understanding of quality standards like ISO 9001 is highly valued. For entry-level positions, a relevant engineering qualification or a demonstrable aptitude for meticulous work can be sufficient, as full training on specific processes is often provided.
How quickly can I start after applying?
For candidates with the right experience and available for an immediate start, the process can be very fast. After a successful phone screening and completion of our streamlined registration (which includes right-to-work checks), we can often place suitable candidates within 24-48 hours. This is the advantage of working with a local agency like StaffDirect that has pre-established relationships with employers across Warrington.
Is this a temporary-only role, or is there permanent potential?
While advertised as a temporary placement, many of our quality control assignments have a strong temp-to-perm pathway. Employers frequently use temporary periods to assess a candidate's skills, work ethic, and team fit before offering a permanent contract. We always communicate the long-term potential of a role during the recruitment process. You can explore more about the benefits of temporary work on our page Are You Looking For Jobs Through Temp Agencies.
What are the typical shift patterns for QC Inspectors in Warrington?
Shift patterns vary by client. Common patterns include standard days (e.g., Monday-Friday, 8 am-5 pm), double day shifts (earlies and lates), and night shifts. Some roles offer part-time or flexible hours. We will always provide full details of the shift pattern, including start/finish times and any premium rates for anti-social hours, before you accept an assignment.
Do I need my own transport to get to sites in Warrington?
Many industrial estates in and around Warrington, particularly in areas like WA4, are not always well-served by public transport, especially for early or late shifts. Therefore, having your own reliable transport is a significant advantage and is often a requirement for the role. We do our best to match candidates with sites accessible to them, so please discuss your transportation situation with your consultant.
What other types of jobs does StaffDirect recruit for in the North West?
StaffDirect is a multi-sector agency. In addition to Quality Control Inspector roles, we actively recruit for Warehouse Operatives, Forklift Drivers, Pickers and Packers, and various skilled trade positions across the region.
