Are you an experienced Quality Inspector looking to join a well-established engineering manufacturer? Or perhaps you have a manufacturing background with inspection experience and are looking to develop your career in quality?
Hawk 3 Talent Solutions are recruiting for a Quality Inspector to join a busy manufacturing facility in Poole. This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a supportive team where full training will be provided on internal systems and processes.
The Role
Working within a fast-paced manufacturing environment, you'll play a key role in ensuring products meet the highest quality standards. You'll carry out inspections throughout the manufacturing process, identify non-conforming products and help maintain an efficient production flow.
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.
