Senior Quality Inspector

Redditch

Mon - Fri

£45,000 + Benefits

We're recruiting for a Senior Quality Inspector to join a leading precision engineering manufacturer supplying the aerospace sector. Reporting to the Chief Inspector, you'll play a key role in ensuring only compliant, high quality products leave the business, acting as the final quality gate before components are dispatched to customers.

This is a hands on role for an experienced inspection professional who takes pride in delivering right first time quality. You'll be responsible for carrying out first-off, in-process and final inspections, interpreting engineering drawings, identifying non-conformances and supporting the business's Zero Defects strategy.

We're keen to hear from ambitious experienced Quality Inspectors, CMM Inspectors, NDT Technicians and professionals from other quality critical inspection disciplines with strong dimensional inspection skills and the ability to interpret engineering drawings.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out first-off, in-process and final inspection of manufactured components.
  • Inspect components against engineering drawings, customer specifications and industry standards.
  • Use conventional metrology equipment including micrometers, verniers, height gauges and bore gauges.
  • Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T and inspection requirements.
  • Accurately record inspection results and raise non-conformances where required.
  • Support root cause investigations and corrective actions.
  • Inspect associated manufacturing documentation and route cards.
  • Work closely with production teams to maintain quality standards and prevent customer escapes.
  • Ensure products consistently meet the high standards expected by aerospace customers.

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.
