Quality Engineer (Precision Engineering)
£40,000 - £45,000 + Company Benefits + Office based + Early Friday finish
Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire
Are you a Quality Engineer looking for a technical, varied role within a leading manufacturer offering an autonomous position, a unique workload and an early Friday finish?
Since the 1970s, this company has been providing precision engineering solutions to the aerospace, defense and energy industries. Through continued success, they have grown into a multi-million-pound business and, due to an ever-increasing workload, are looking to strengthen their quality team.
In this varied role, you will be responsible for creating quality documentation, including control plans, inspection plans and test plans, to support continuous improvement across manufacturing processes. You will carry out internal audits to ensure compliance with AS9100 standards, support NCR investigations and corrective actions, and occasionally travel to conduct supplier audits.
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.
