The global engineering firm Renishaw, which says it has recovered strongly since the worldwide recession, has announced a programme of student recruitment for Summer 2011, offering a mix of 125 graduate jobs, apprenticeships, one-year industrial placements and summer placements. In addition, the company is inviting applications from students at local schools for 40 one-week work experience opportunities.
Among the opportunities are 25 jobs for graduates in a range of engineering disciplines including electronics, software, optics and mechanical engineering, plus people with good degrees in mathematics and physics. There are also 15 four-year craft and technical apprenticeships on offer, and five specialist software apprenticeships.
Speaking about the current UK opportunities, human resources manager Peter Bowler said, "With a shortage of engineering talent, we have to take control of our own future and develop high quality individuals to meet our future growth targets. We offer excellent careers for graduates and students with the right capabilities and attitude, and the fact that we make most products in the UK and offer opportunities for overseas experience is an added attraction for people looking to become a well rounded engineer."
The graduate and student positions are in addition to over 200 permanent vacancies currently available within Renishaw, of which around 100 are for roles at the company's four main sites in Gloucestershire, UK. The application process for all the student roles is now open and full details can be found at www.renishaw.com/careers
