Ontic, a leading licensor and manufacturer of complex engineering parts for the global aerospace and defence industries, are now recruiting for a Receiving & Release Inspector to join our Quality team where you'll support us in ensuring that all incoming and outgoing products meet the highest standards of quality, compliance and customer requirements.

The Role
As a Receiving & Release Inspector, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the quality and compliance of aerospace and marine components throughout the inspection process. You’ll be responsible for carrying out detailed inspections of incoming and outgoing products, ensuring they meet design data, customer specifications and purchase order requirements.
Working with a range of inspection tools and techniques, you’ll assess complex mechanical components both visually and dimensionally, making informed decisions to accept or reject parts based on defined criteria. You’ll also review documentation such as First Article Inspection Reports in line with AS9102, and ensure all certification and release paperwork, including Certificates of Conformity and UK Form 1, is completed accurately prior to delivery.
Alongside inspection activities, you’ll support cross-functional teams including Supplier Quality, Engineering and Supply Chain in resolving product-related issues, while maintaining accurate records and ensuring all work is carried out in line with Ontic procedures and regulatory requirements.
