Responsibilities

Inspect products to ensure they meet high quality standards and are right first time. Liaise with head office and the rework department to correct defects or errors in materials.

Requirements

No prior quality inspection experience is required as full training is provided. Candidates must be able to work in a fast-paced environment and communicate effectively at all levels.

Full job description

Shift pattern:

Tuesday - Saturday, 06:00 - 14:00

 

The role:

 

If you have ever picked up the hottest trend off the racks in one of our stores recently, chances are it has been Quality checked by our brilliant team of Inspectors. The great news is that we are expanding our team of our Quality Inspectors and are seeking skilled individuals to join our growing team.

 

Being ‘hands on’ will be in your nature and you will be comfortable working in a busy, challenging and varied environment, with the opportunity to work across all our Distribution Centres.

 

What you’ll take on:

 

As part of a dedicated team of Inspectors you will be a team player who is fully committed to inspecting products that are “right first time”. You will be a true perfectionist when it comes to maintaining high quality standards. Your role will also include liaising with the head office, the rework department and working with the internal posting systems. 

 

You may also be required to support Rework. Rework refers to the process of revisiting and correcting tasks or products that were not completed correctly the first time, often due to defects, errors, or unmet quality standards. It involves fixing, modifying, or adjusting materials and components.

 

What you’ll bring:

You will enjoy working in a fast paced, varied environment and be able to use your own initiative on decision making.

 

Don’t worry if you are out of practice or even if you have no Quality Inspection experience! So long as you have previously enjoyed working as part of a high performing team and able to communicate at all levels, we will offer full training to bring you up to speed on our ever growing ranges.
