About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Quality Inspector to join our FHD team. This role is critical in ensuring that our precision-engineered components meet the highest quality standards before progressing through the manufacturing process and reaching our customers.

Working within a fast-paced engineering environment, you will carry out a range of inspections using manual measurement equipment, vision systems and specialist inspection techniques, while supporting quality governance, continuous improvement activities and product conformity.

Key Responsibilities

As a Quality Inspector, you will:

  • Perform inspections on precision-engineered cooling holes and fixtures.
  • Conduct manual inspections using equipment including Verniers, height gauges, shadowgraphs, pin gauges and other inspection tools.
  • Complete camera, vision system, ultrasonic and magnetic wire inspections where required.
  • Carry out batch, first-off and patrol inspections.
  • Support the management and control of non-conforming products.
  • Maintain inspection records and govern online inspection reports.
  • Calibrate fixtures and gauges.
  • Interpret technical drawings, GD&T requirements and CMM inspection reports.
  • Gather and review quality data to support gate reviews and final inspection sign-off.
  • Assist with root cause analysis and 8D investigations.
  • Support KPI monitoring, continuous improvement initiatives and 5S activities.
  • Communicate quality concerns effectively with production teams and stakeholders.
  • Ensure compliance with company Health & Safety and environmental 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.
