Are you a Data Analyst with strong SQL and Python skills looking to apply your expertise in a manufacturing environment?

Do you enjoy digging into complex data, identifying gaps, and turning it into meaningful insights that drive quality and performance improvements?

If so, this could be a great opportunity.

We’re supporting a well-established manufacturing business in Portsmouth who are looking to bring in a Data Analyst to work closely with their Quality and Operations teams.

What’s the role all about?

This is not a standard reporting role.

You’ll be responsible for owning and improving quality data, identifying gaps, building datasets, and creating meaningful insight that supports decision-making across the business.

You’ll work across multiple systems, helping to connect data, automate reporting and provide clear visibility on quality performance and cost drivers.

Key responsibilities

• Analyse and interpret quality and manufacturing data to identify trends, risks and improvement opportunities
• Use SQL and Python to extract, clean and manipulate data from multiple sources
• Identify data gaps, inconsistencies and inefficiencies, and build solutions to improve data quality
• Develop and maintain automated dashboards and reporting tools
• Support the Quality team with insights into:
• Non-conformances
• Scrap and rework
• Process performance
• Cost of quality
• Translate complex data into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders
• Work closely with Quality, Engineering, Operations and IT teams
• Support continuous improvement initiatives through data-driven decision making
• Assist in integrating and improving QMS and ERP data systems

• Experience building dashboards and reporting tools (Excel, Power BI, Tableau or similar)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Understanding of manufacturing or quality processes

Desirable

• Experience working with quality data (NCRs, CAPAs, scrap, audits, etc.)
• Knowledge of ISO9001 / AS9100 environments
• Exposure to Lean / Six Sigma / continuous improvement methodologies
• Experience integrating data across ERP / QMS systems

About you

You’re naturally curious and enjoy solving problems through data. You’re not just reporting numbers — you’re identifying what’s missing, what’s wrong and how to improve it.

You’ll be:

• Analytical and detail-driven
• Comfortable working independently and cross-functionally
• A strong communicator who can explain data clearly
• Proactive in identifying improvements and solutions
• Confident working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment

Salary and benefits
