About Us
Since Watchfinder & Co. was first founded in 2002, it has grown to become the premier resource from which to buy and sell premium pre-owned watches. With thousands of watches available from more than 50 brands, including Rolex, Omega, IWC and more, plus boutiques across the UK and a manufacturer certified service centre, Watchfinder has established itself as the top pre-owned watch specialist.
About the Role
We are currently seeking a Quality Control Inspector to join our busy Service Centre in Kings Hill. The position is based within our workshop and you will be responsible for checking watches in and out of the departments for authenticity, condition, functions and timing. You will use a number of different analytical machines to check the mechanical aspects as well as visual checks for the aesthetics. You will need to be able to translate the results onto our system for other departments across the company to access and understand.
Quality Control Inspectors assess any improvements made to the watch and whether the previous work has been completed to a high standard and determine whether further improvements could be made.
We are looking for a process-driven individual who has a passion for the world of horology. You can withhold technical information easily and share an interest in learning about unique pieces. You will work within strict policies and procedures and support the Servicing Centre in maintaining a smooth running of the department.
