Owen Daniels are currently recruiting for an experienced Supplier Quality Engineer to join a leading automotive business based in Coventry.
This is a great opportunity for a quality professional who enjoys working closely with suppliers, solving problems at source and making sure quality standards are consistently delivered. The role is very much hands on.
You’ll be working closely with the supplier base, engineering and internal teams to identify quality issues, drive corrective actions and support new product introduction from the early stages through to production.
You’ll have a key role in supplier performance and will be involved across APQP, PPAP, 8D, root cause analysis, 5 Why, PFMEA, Control Plans and supplier development.
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.
