Gloucestershire-based global engineering company Renishaw has been highly commended in the graduate employer benefits category at The Job Crowd Awards 2017.

The Awards are based on anonymous reviews from graduate employees working in companies across the UK.

Renishaw recruited 45 graduates across its eight schemes in 2017, with roles including software engineers, commercial graduates, mechanical design engineers, applications engineers, electronic engineers, manufacturing engineers, physics and scientific roles and project coordinators.

The two-year scheme includes a six-month rotation between different divisions of the company. Graduate employees are mentored, trained and able to work towards chartered status. Employees are then offered a position in one of Renishaw’s products divisions on completion of the graduate programme,

This year’s ceremony was hosted at the Lancaster Hotel, London, on 16 May, and was attended by over 200 guests from across the country.

Says Renishaw head of communications Chris Pockett: “Renishaw is committed to developing its staff from the very beginning. A number of directors and senior managers started as graduates or apprentices and have progressed through the company. It is encouraging to have such positive feedback from our graduate staff.”
