The ideal candidate will have experience in setting and operating CNC machines – or inspecting the output of one - and will possess the knowledge and skills to verify the quality of components.

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Read and interpret technical engineering drawings
- Maintain records and follow procedures as per the Company’s ISO9001 quality system
- Review technical drawings ensuring that components conform to the required specifications and dimensions
- Identify and document any non-conformances and work with the production team to resolve any issues
- Investigate customers NCRs
