Quality matters. Excellence is in the detail.
We are looking for an experienced Quality Inspector with a strong background in jewellery manufacturing to join our team.
You’ll play a key role in ensuring jewellery meets our quality standards at every stage of production, from casting through to finished and purchased product. You’ll use your knowledge of jewellery manufacturing and workmanship to identify issues, make confident quality decisions, and ensure only products meeting the required standards move forward.
This is a varied role requiring excellent attention to detail, good judgement, and the ability to work flexibly across different product areas.
What you'll be doing
Quality Control
- Inspect jewellery and components at different stages of production, including casting, mounting, setting, wedding rings, and finished products.
- Assess workmanship, finish, and quality against customer requirements and documented standards.
- Make decisions to pass, repair, rework, or reject items.
- Identify and report defects, recurring quality issues, and areas for improvement.
- Ensure approved products are accurately recorded, processed, and progressed within required timescales.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

- Prioritise your workload to support production and customer lead times.
- Ensure repairs and rework are communicated clearly and followed up where required.
- Complete hallmarking requests and accurately check returned items.
- Carry out diamond screening and purchased product inspections where required.
- Maintain accurate records and production information.
Teamwork & Continuous Improvement
- Communicate quality issues clearly and provide accurate information to colleagues.
- Support team members and contribute to the overall workload of the Quality team.
- Identify opportunities to improve quality, processes, and ways of working.
What we're looking for
Essential
- Previous experience in jewellery manufacturing, jewellery production, or jewellery quality control.
- Good knowledge of jewellery manufacturing processes, particularly casting, mounting, setting, and finishing.
- Strong understanding of jewellery quality and the ability to identify defects and workmanship issues.
- Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
- Confident making independent decisions and knowing when to escalate.

What you'll bring
You'll bring practical jewellery manufacturing experience, a keen eye for detail, and a genuine commitment to quality.
You'll understand what good jewellery workmanship looks like and be confident identifying issues, making decisions, and communicating clearly with colleagues. You'll be organised, adaptable, and able to balance quality standards with the need to keep production moving.
