Gloucestershire-based engineering company Renishaw is recruiting 70 graduates for its 2020 intake. The company has also created new programmes for its software and manufacturing engineering streams, extending the opportunities it offers to graduates from a range of engineering disciplines. Applications are now open until November 1st 2019. To apply for a graduate scheme at Renishaw, visit www.renishaw.com/graduates.
In 2019 at the JobCrowd Awards, Renishaw's Graduate Scheme was again ranked amongst the top three companies for graduates to work for in the UK's engineering and manufacturing sector, for companies taking over 30 graduates a year. The company recruits for software engineers (now including embedded software engineering), manufacturing graduates (with mechanical and electronics roles), commercial graduates, operational management roles, mechanical design engineers, applications engineers, electronic engineers, process engineers, physics and scientific roles and project coordinators.
The company has created new specialised software and manufacturing roles, now offering software engineering, embedded software engineering, mechanical manufacturing and electronics manufacturing schemes.
Following a comprehensive Group Induction Programme, where new graduates are welcomed to Renishaw and introduced to all aspects of the company, most graduates undertake six-month rotations around different divisions, before the offer of a permanent position in the company.
Amy Wilson, Graduate Machine Shop Planner at Renishaw explains: "Renishaw's graduate scheme broadened my technical knowledge and allowed me to meet clever and innovative people. It is obvious the company is prepared to invest in your future; it is interested in the individual."
