Job Role: Aerospace Quality Engineer

Location:

Broughton / Manchester / North Wales

Career Level:

Associate Manager / Specialist

Salary:

Competitive, plus benefits.

Role Purpose:

The role is responsible for supporting right-first-time, compliant delivery within a complex aerospace manufacturing environment. The individual will act as a practical quality authority on the shop floor, supporting production continuity while safeguarding product safety, conformity, regulatory compliance, and customer expectations.

In this role you will:

  • Assure product and process compliance across manufacturing, assembly, and shop-floor activities in line with the customer’s Quality Management System, aerospace standards, and applicable regulatory requirements.
  • Provide hands-on quality support to production teams, including quality surveillance, inspections, audits, and practical issue resolution to maintain safety, conformity, and production flow.
  • Manage and support non-conformities, concessions, deviations, and related quality issues, including containment, investigation, root cause analysis, and corrective/preventive actions.
  • Work closely with Production, Manufacturing Engineering, Design, Supply Chain Quality, and supplier teams to resolve quality issues, unblock production constraints, and minimize impact to production schedules.
  • Support concession and non-conformance workflows by maintaining accurate trackers, progressing actions, preparing inputs for review boards, and ensuring timely stakeholder follow-up.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and non-quality reduction initiatives using structured methods such as 8D, PPS, root cause analysis, FMEA, APQP, SPC, or other recognized quality approaches.

What’s in it for you

At Accenture, in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package which includes:

  • 25 days vacation per year
  • Private medical insurance
  • 3 extra days leave per year for charitable work of your choice!

Flexibility and mobility are required to deliver this role as there will be requirements to spend time onsite with our clients and partners to enable delivery of the first-class services we are known for.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
