About the Role

All Square Recruitment is excited to partner with a reputable engineering client based in Colchester, Essex, to recruit an experienced Quality Inspector for a short-term contract assignment. This is a fantastic opportunity for a detail-oriented metrology professional to provide dimensional measurement support using Romer Arm and CMM equipment, working within a structured quality environment on a well-established manufacturing site.

Key Responsibilities

  * Interpret engineering drawings accurately, including dimensions, tolerances, units, revisions, notes, and title blocks.

  * Apply general tolerancing principles, correctly distinguishing between drawing-wide and individually toleranced dimensions.

  * Demonstrate a working understanding of GD&T, including flatness, straightness, parallelism, perpendicularity, position, profile, and datums.

  * Carry out precise external, internal, step, and depth measurements using vernier and digital callipers.

  * Set up and operate a Romer Arm with AS1 scanner, including referencing, probing/scanning, alignment, feature construction, and reporting.

  * Prepare surfaces and apply correct scanning technique to ensure full coverage and recognise poor-quality point-cloud data.

  * Maintain accurate inspection records, capturing measured values, equipment ID, drawing revision, and acceptance status.

  * Check equipment calibration status prior to use and follow correct procedures for overdue or damaged equipment.

  * Identify and quarantine nonconforming product, raising Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) rather than independently accepting deviations.

Candidate Requirements & Qualifications

  * Previous experience in a dimensional inspection, metrology, or quality control role is essential.

  * Proven ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including GD&T symbols and tolerancing.

  * Hands-on experience using a Romer Arm (or similar portable CMM/scanning arm) is highly desirable.

  * Competent in the use of vernier and digital callipers for precision measurement.

  * Understanding of calibration procedures and non-conformance/NCR processes.

  * Strong attention to detail with a methodical, accurate approach to record-keeping.

  * Good communication skills and a reliable work ethic.

Benefits & Working Environment

  * Competitive hourly rate, dependent on experience

  * Weekly pay for the duration of the contract

  * Core day shift, Monday to Friday, offering a consistent work-life balance

  * Free on-site parking and an accessible location in Colchester

  * Opportunity to work with a reputable, well-established engineering business
