Salary: £39,989.94 includes Shift allowance

Shifts: 3-shift rotation Monday to Friday

My client based in Livingston is recruiting a Forge Inspector to support shop floor inspection across a busy forging and machining environment.

This is a practical, hands-on inspection role. You will rotate across areas including hot forge, black forge, marking off, pipe shop, aircraft and die inspection, working closely with production to ensure parts meet quality and delivery requirements.

What we're looking for

  • Time-served engineer with HNC level qualification
  • Strong numerical ability
  • Experience inspecting forged, machined or heavy engineered components
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and process sheets
  • Confident using precision measuring equipment
  • Comfortable working a rotating shift pattern

Duties include inspection of forged components and dies during set-ups, inspection of machined and pre-machined parts, checking templates and final dies, setting up jigs and fixtures, and carrying out dimensional checks involving decimals and fractions. You will also inspect machining operations and support continuous improvement on the shop floor.

This is a solid opportunity for an experienced manufacturing or forge inspector who prefers being on the shop floor and understands how quality supports production.
