Quality Engineer Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Quality Engineer to join a leading engineering manufacturer producing high-performance technical products.

  • Plan, conduct, and maintain internal, supplier, and external audit programmes, ensuring corrective actions are implemented and verified.
  • Lead investigations into non-conformances, CAPA activities, and root cause analysis using methodologies including 8D, A3, and Lean Six Sigma.

  • Maintain quality documentation, monitor quality performance trends, and lead continuous improvement projects that enhance product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

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.
