Quality Engineer – Compliance & Auditing
Manchester
We are supporting a well-established precision engineering business operating within highly regulated sectors, including aerospace and defence. Due to continued growth, they are seeking an experienced Quality Engineer to join their quality team at their Greater Manchester facility.
Purpose of the role
Ensure the business maintains compliance with aerospace standards, customer requirements, and internal quality systems. This role focuses on audits, quality systems, compliance, and continuous improvement rather than the day-to-day quality of manufactured 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.
