AddQual Creates New Engineering Roles to Support Growth and Inspire the Next Generation of Metrology Talent

AddQual, a leader in advanced metrology and digital inspection services, has announced the creation of two new engineering roles in Derby as it continues to grow its footprint in the aerospace, power, and medical sectors. The company is actively recruiting both a Junior Metrology Engineer and an Advanced Metrology Engineer, reinforcing its commitment to nurturing talent and delivering world-class quality assurance through data-driven precision.

These new opportunities come at a pivotal time for both AddQual and the wider manufacturing industry. Faced with a growing skills gap and increasing demand for faster, more consistent quality control, AddQual is investing in its people, technology, and culture to stay ahead of the curve.

“We’re proud to be growing our team at a time when the industry faces real challenges in both talent retention and technical innovation,” said Ben Anderson, Managing Director at AddQual. “These roles represent career-defining opportunities for engineers who want to be part of something that’s pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in modern manufacturing.”

At its heart, AddQual is a company that combines engineering excellence with a deep understanding of how structured data can transform production. The business uses advanced metrology systems — including optical scanning, CMMs, and 3D digital design tools — to help customers reduce waste, increase speed, and enhance product quality. From high-precision aerospace components to complex medical assemblies, AddQual’s approach is grounded in accuracy, repeatability, and insight.

“Metrology is often seen as a reactive function — something that checks quality after the fact,” Anderson explained. “But at AddQual, it’s at the centre of how we innovate. Whether you're a junior just starting out or an advanced engineer looking to lead complex projects, you’ll be part of a culture that treats measurement as a creative and strategic discipline.”

The company’s culture is another major draw. AddQual fosters a collaborative, knowledge-sharing environment where experienced mentors work closely with new team members. It’s a place where engineers can thrive — not just by learning tools and systems, but by developing the mindset needed to lead in a high-performance, digitally-enabled future.

The Advanced Metrology Engineer role is ideal for professionals with five or more years of experience who are ready to take ownership of large-scale measurement projects, engage with customers, and help shape metrology processes that will define the next generation of manufacturing standards.

Meanwhile, the Junior Metrology Engineer position offers a hands-on entry point for early-career professionals ready to build their skillset alongside some of the most capable engineers in the field.

“We’re building careers” said Anderson. “Whether you’re solving complex measurement challenges or mentoring a junior through their first customer project, every member of our team contributes to something bigger. And when you’re working with industries like aerospace and medical — where precision matters deeply — the sense of purpose is real.”

With AS9100 approval, NADCAP accreditation, and a growing list of industry-leading clients, AddQual continues to position itself as the go-to partner for companies seeking reliable, data-led quality assurance.

“The work we do here is exciting, challenging, and incredibly rewarding,” Anderson concluded. “If you want to be part of a company that values integrity, invests in its people, and operates at the cutting edge of digital engineering — there’s no better place to build your future than AddQual.
