In the 2019 JobCrowd rankings, Gloucestershire-based Renishaw is again ranked among the top three companies for graduates to work for in the UK’s engineering and manufacturing sector.

The company is ranked second in this year’s ‘larger graduate intake’ category in its industry and 45th in the top 100 companies for graduates to work for in 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- to 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 co-ordination and software engineering.

Becca Hiorns, graduate lead at Renishaw, said: “Graduates are an essential part of Renishaw, as they bring fresh ideas to the business. We nurture them through all stages of development to help them begin a successful career.

“We have a positive company culture and a real family ethos that makes new employees feel welcome. We give our graduates the freedom to push boundaries to create new and innovative products.

“Renishaw works hard to make its graduate programmes as effective as possible.

“The company’s consistently high JobCrowd ranking shows that graduates are invested in the programme and are having a positive experience.”

Applications for Renishaw’s 2020 graduate scheme begin next month.

The programme is open to graduates with a minimum 2:2 degree (or expected) in a relevant discipline.
