Quality Engineer

Roq is changing the way the world thinks about quality. We want people to think and act differently about how quality is embedded into organisations so they can deliver complex technology change with confidence.

As a consultancy business, our work is varied and impactful. You’ll have the opportunity to partner with a range of clients, navigate different industries, and collaborate with diverse stakeholder groups. No two engagements are the same, and you’ll be encouraged to bring fresh thinking, adaptability, and curiosity to every project. You may occasionally travel to client sites, strengthening relationships and seeing the real-world impact of your work.

Everything we do is driven by our brilliant people and our core values: Straight Talking, Passionate, Excellence, and Commitment. If you want to make a real impact, grow your career, and work with a team that cares, Roq could be the place for you.
