Quality Inspector (Precision Engineering/Military)

Gravesend
£35,000 - £40,000 + In-House Training + Discretional Production Bonus + Discretional Christmas Bonus + Small Batch Work + Early Finish Friday

Are you a Quality Inspector or similar from a manufacturing background, looking to join a precision engineering business with seven decades of industry expertise, who manufacture specialist small batch components for the military, nuclear, and medical sectors?

On offer is the chance to become a central part of a skillful and successful engineering team, where you will be the go-to for all quality needs, whilst reaping the benefits of an early finish Friday, in-house training on the company's expertise, and various discretional bonuses.

In this role you will be responsible for inspecting components throughout the manufacturing process. This will be through handheld measuring devices such as verniers, micrometers, and height gauges, along with using a Mitytoyo CMM. You will need to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T requirements, and technical specifications.

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.
