Mechanical Inspectors (CMM & Manual) – Permanent (Senior or Junior)

2 great opportunities for Mechanical Inspectors to join this established, growing subcontract precision engineering business. The role involves inspecting high-precision, complex components using both CMM and manual methods. You’ll benefit from an excellent working environment, training, and premium-rate overtime.

What you’ll be doing

  • Inspect mechanical parts and assemblies to ensure they meet drawing and quality requirements.
  • Carry out manual inspection using gauges, micrometres, and other precision measuring equipment.
  • Complete and review First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs).
  • Operate CMM equipment to confirm product conformity.
  • Programme CMM routines where required (PC-DMIS preferred; training available).
  • Work with Engineering and Production to resolve inspection findings and non-conformances.

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.
