Job Description

  • Monitor and maintain the quality system, ensuring continuous improvement.
  • Conduct product complaint investigations and manage corrective actions, from implementation to closure.
  • Develop, implement, and monitor procedures and policies to ensure adherence to standards.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as Manufacturing, Engineering, and Supply Chain to achieve organisational performance goals.
  • Utilise lean manufacturing techniques to reduce waste and improve operational efficiency.
  • Identify and propose improvements to existing procedures to enhance efficiency.
  • Participate in cross-functional teams to drive project success.

Preferred Requirements

  • Ideally a Degree in Science or Engineering discipline.
  • Proven experience in a regulated environment, ideally within the pharmaceutical, aerospace, or medical device manufacturing industries.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of ISO13485, CFR Part 820, or equivalent regulations and standards.
  • Strong understanding of Quality Assurance principles and methodologies in a regulated setting.
  • Proficiency with MS Excel, Minitab, or similar statistical analysis tools.

  • Ability to work effectively as part of a team and manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

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.
