Are you a CMM Programmer or Metrology Engineer looking to take the next step in your career with one of the UK's leading distributors of precision measurement equipment, where you'll receive specialist manufacturer training?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established metrology specialist with over 30 years of success. Partnering with industry-leading manufacturers such as Renishaw, Hexagon, and Kreon, the business supplies cutting-edge CMMs and metrology products to customers across Formula One, aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering.
In this role, you'll provide technical application support, programme CMMs, deliver customer training, and support customers both remotely and on-site. The position is primarily office-based, with occasional travel across the UK for customer visits.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
