Job Description Summary

At GE Vernova, we don’t just design the world’s most advanced energy technology—we build it. We are looking for a Manufacturing Quality Engineer to be our primary technical authority on the shop floor. From core and winding to final assembly and testing, you will be the expert ensuring that every HVDC transformer we deliver is built to perfection.

If you are a hands-on engineer who loves the factory environment, believes that quality is a culture rather than a checklist, and excels at solving complex manufacturing puzzles, this is your opportunity to drive excellence in the energy transition.

Job Description

Your Impact

You will be the bridge between design intent and physical reality. By coaching teams, monitoring process stability, and leading root-cause investigations, you will minimize waste and maximize the reliability of the critical infrastructure powering our global energy grid.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the Floor: Be the primary quality lead for every stage of production—from the first winding to the final Factory Acceptance Test (FAT).
  • Master the Process: Maintain our Quality Control Plans and ensure that every process, from insulation to oil filling, meets our "Zero-Defect" standard.
  • Lead the Investigation: When a challenge arises, you don't just fix it—you solve it. Use 8D and 5-Why methodologies to uncover the root cause and ensure it never happens again.
  • Coach for Excellence: Act as a mentor to shop-floor teams, instilling a culture of quality ownership and precision.
  • Champion Improvement: Use data to drive Lean/Six Sigma projects that refine our processes, reduce scrap, and boost First Pass Yield (FPY).
  • Collaborate for Success: Partner with Production, Engineering, and Supply Chain teams to ensure that quality is built in, not inspected in.

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.
