Are you a Quality Inspector with a background in precision engineering, looking to join a high-quality manufacturer that has recently moved into a brand-new facility?
On offer is the chance to join one of Scotland's leading precision engineering companies, with over 55 years of experience producing complex, tight-tolerance machined components and assemblies for the Defence, Aerospace, Satellite, Electronics and medical sectors.
You will take ownership of inspection activities throughout the production process, covering first-off, in-process and final inspection, ensuring all components meet customer specifications and exacting quality standards.

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.
