About The Role
Hawk 3 Talent Solutions are currently recruiting for an experienced and reliable Quality Inspector to join a busy manufacturing team in Nottingham.
This is a hands-on shop-floor role within a production environment, inspecting fabricated and manufactured components to ensure they meet engineering drawings, customer specifications, tolerances, and required quality standards.
The successful candidate will also be responsible for preparing and checking completed jobs ready for despatch, ensuring all components, quantities, paperwork, and quality documentation are correct before goods leave site.
This is a practical production-based position and not a purely office-based quality role.
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.
