Where will I be working?

This role is based out of our Miskin site in South Wales. As Renishaw sites are based in semi-rural locations, applicants must have their own form of transport or be willing to relocate to the local area.

Placements are also available at our site in Woodchester, Gloucestershire.

What do I need and how do I apply?

This placement scheme is suitable for students who are required to undertake a sandwich placement as part of their degree course. We encourage applications from all STEM disciplines, especially electronics engineering, integrating engineering, mechanical engineering and physics.

Training and development is excellent so candidates with no experience but a keen interest in engineering will be strongly considered. If you are excited about the role but feel as though you don’t meet all the requirements, we would encourage you still to apply. You might just be the right person for this role or another placement opportunity at Renishaw.

To apply, simply attach an updated CV and GRB will be in touch shortly after. This is a popular opportunity, with spaces filling up on a rolling basis so don’t hesitate to make an application.
