Ben Claridge
@benclaridge
I run precision inspection, CMM programming, and factory quality operations.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I've programmed and operated CMM measurement machines at JVM Castings, inspecting automotive castings for JLR, Ford, Bentley and Nissan while owning site-wide calibration of measurement instruments and gauges.
At Superform Aluminium, I led a team of 10 across inspection, auditing and engineering, supporting customers including McLaren, Bentley, BMW, Airbus and BAE Systems. I've managed scrap, customer returns, supplier performance, non-conformances and structured 8D problem solving.
With more than 15 years in factory environments, I also operate CNC and laser machines, set tools and fixtures, inspect production batches, and work to tight tolerances. Following a full-time family caring break, I'm settled in Worcester and available immediately for factory or warehouse roles.
