• Confirm tolerances and correct component installation

• Inspect incoming raw materials and purchased components

• Check certificates of conformity and supplier compliance

• Report defects and raise non-conformance reports

• Support root-cause investigations and corrective actions

• Follow standardised QC processes and contribute to improvements

What You'll Bring:

• Experience in a mechanical, engineering, QC or manufacturing role

• Understanding of hydraulic systems or mechanical components (preferred)

• Ability to read engineering drawings

• Confident using measuring equipment (verniers, micrometers, gauges)

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy

• Good paperwork and documentation discipline

• A proactive mindset and ability to work independently

• Physically fit and comfortable in a workshop environment

Why Join Motus?

• Stable, long-term manufacturing role

• Work with hydraulic products used across multiple industries
