Renishaw graduate scheme ranked second in UK manufacturing

Global engineering firm Renishaw, which has its headquarters in Gloucestershire, has ranked in the top three companies for graduates in the UK engineering and manufacturing sectors.

In the 2019 JobCrowd rankings, the company is ranked second in this year’s larger graduate intake in its industry and ranked as 45th in the top 100 companies for graduates to work for across all UK sectors.

The JobCrowd rankings are based on anonymous reviews from graduate employees at companies across the UK. Renishaw’s high ranking recognises the successes of its one or two year schemes, which mentor and train graduates before they take on a permanent position at the company.

Renishaw’s 12 schemes offer graduates hands-on experience through a series of both rotational placements in different divisions of the company and static schemes in key areas, ranging from electronics and manufacturing to project coordination and software engineering.

Every graduate at Renishaw receives a tailored induction programme, a competitive salary, 21 days holiday and a 9% non-contributory pension.

“Graduates are an essential part of Renishaw as they bring fresh ideas to the business. We nurture graduates through all stages of development to help them begin a successful career,” explained Becca Hiorns, graduate lead at Renishaw. “We have a positive company culture and a real family ethos that makes new employees feel welcome. We give our graduates the freedom to be creative and push boundaries to create new, innovative products.”

“Renishaw works hard to make its graduate programmes as effective as possible,” added Ms Hiorns. “The consistently high JobCrowd ranking shows that graduates are invested in the programme and are having a positive experience.”

Following the success of this year’s programme, Renishaw will be taking on another set of graduates across its 12 schemes in 2020. The company will be recruiting for commercial graduates, operational management roles, software engineers, mechanical engineers, applications engineers, electronic engineers, manufacturing engineers, physics and scientific roles, project coordinators and process engineers. It is also recruiting for two new schemes in 2020, adding manufacturing electronics engineering and embedded software engineering to its existing graduate portfolio.
