First-Line Quality Control Guitar Technician
Posted on: 05th June 2026
Are you passionate about guitars, with a keen eye for detail and a desire to work with some of the world’s most prestigious music brands? Based at our Guildford warehouse on Slyfield Industrial Estate, we are recruiting for a Quality Control Technician who will be available to check and set up in-bound guitars which have arrived direct from factory.
As a First-Line QC Technician, you will be responsible for thoroughly inspecting, testing, and setting up a wide range of guitars, either as part of the inbound QC process or completing our comprehensive pre-delivery inspection checks for our customer orders. You will also be required to test amplifiers, pedals, and other related products.
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.
