Take ownership of quality, solve complex manufacturing challenges and drive meaningful improvement. Consortium Professional Recruitment are partnering with an established manufacturer to recruit a Quality Engineer for their team in Hessle.
This is a hands-on quality engineering role within a highly regulated manufacturing environment, offering the opportunity to get close to operations, tackle real production challenges and influence how quality and process performance are improved.

As Quality Engineer, you'll be responsible for:
- Providing day-to-day quality engineering support across manufacturing operations, helping teams identify and resolve quality issues quickly and effectively.
- Leading root cause investigations using structured methodologies including 5 Why, Fishbone, DMAIC and 8D.
- Driving corrective and preventive actions through to effective, sustainable resolution.
- Supporting change control, risk assessments, verification and validation activities within a regulated environment.
- Conducting Measurement System Analysis (MSA), Gage R&R and statistical analysis to support robust, data-led decision making.
- Using quality and Six Sigma tools including SPC, capability analysis and DOE to understand and improve process performance.
- Leading and contributing to continuous improvement projects focused on defect reduction, yield, process capability and operational performance.
- Working collaboratively with Manufacturing, Engineering and Quality colleagues to maintain high standards of product quality and compliance.
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.
