Exquisite Solution Limited is a Ugandan business process outsourcing and HR firm founded in 2006. It provides recruitment and selection, manpower services, executive search, payroll management, HR compliance audits, training and outsourced call centre services to organisations in Uganda and the region.

The company’s head office is at Plot 670 Namanve Industrial & Business Park, with a second office in Kigali, Rwanda. It places candidates in permanent, contract and interim roles and recruits on behalf of client companies whose names are often kept confidential until later in the process.

The client behind this role operates in the oil and gas sector and handles JET A-1 aviation fuel, so sampling and testing accuracy are central to safe operations.

The Quality Control Technician does the day-to-day sampling and testing that keeps aviation fuel on specification.

You will also watch over fuel receipt, storage, filtration and dispatch for any sign of contamination, inspect tanks, trucks and handling equipment, and keep sampling and lab equipment clean and calibrated. When results look abnormal you will report and help investigate them, and you will support audits, HSE and emergency response activities.
