Job Purpose / Overview
We are currently looking for a Quality Management Lead (QML) to ensure HPC Project quality requirements are complied with across the full project life cycle (Contract award, Design, Procurement, Manufacture, Test, Shipping, Construction/Installation, Test/Commission and Contract close out).
This position will be site based at least 3 days per week and working offsite 2 days per week our normal hybrid working arrangements.
As the QML you will ensure supply-chain adherence to the contracted quality assurance and quality control requirements.

This includes, but is not limited to, the development and implementation of Project Quality Control Plans.
In addition, the work carried out by QML's supports the HPC Quality Director, HPC Deputy Quality Director, the QDM and their programme in achieving adherence with the Integrated Management System arrangements, putting in place additional project-specific arrangements as required and managing quality for all activities within the scope of the programme. This includes ensuring the PQCP's are suitably updated, to evidence the execution of the quality arrangements and the current progress / status of the associated products and site installations.
You will work in close collaboration with all other project functions and the supply chain to ensure that project quality is delivered consistently (safely, efficiently and right first time) compliant with the scope of work and quality arrangements.
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.
