Bingley, United Kingdom
I've spent the over a decade working in financial services, a regulated environment where it's imperative that thorough testing, with an extremely high attention to detail, is completed, ensuring customer journeys and/or internal software are coherent, user friendly and compliant before they are put live. Day-to-day I work as a Digital Product Owner at a UK building society. I bring a wealth of experience in agile delivery, testing user journeys, and recommending decisions for progression through quality gates. I've written test scripts, run structured test cases, logged defects in Jira (and also proficient in Excel/Google Sheet), and been the person who decides whether something is actually ready to go live. What I can help with: - Manual and exploratory testing across web and mobile - UAT in both agile and waterfall environments - Accessibility testing to WCAG 2.1 AA, including screen reader testing with NVDA and JAWS - Cross-browser and cross-device testing (iphone, laptop, desktop) - Test scripts, defect reports, and anything that needs to be clearly documented I'm also useful for work that just needs someone with a sharp eye โ data checking, proofreading, process documentation, research. Basically anything where attention to detail is the whole job. I find jobs that others deem 'boring' as satisfying to complete. 100% Job Success Score. I respond quickly, communicate clearly, and won't disappear halfway through a project.

QUALITY CONTROL SPECIALISTS FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is quality control?
Quality control is the practice of screening a product before it is shipped or deployed to the consumer. In contrast with quality assurance, which is process-oriented and concerned with defect prevention, quality control is product-oriented and concerned with defect identification.
Hereโs a quick overview of the skills you should look for in quality control professionals:
- Quality control
- Product testing
- Product expertise (e.g., software testing, hardware testing)
Why do you want to hire quality control specialists?
The trick to finding top quality control specialists is to identify your needs. Does your company produce a software product that needs to be subjected to SQC (software quality control) procedures prior to deployment? Or is your goal to find a quality expert to help create quality control testing procedures for a physical product? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.
How much does it cost to hire a quality control specialist?
Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.
- An experienced quality control specialist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
- A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their quality control services more competitively.
Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
