Service & Calibration Engineer – Gloucestershire

As demand for high‑confidence measurement continues to grow, Renishaw is expanding its calibration and verification capability to ensure customers achieve peak performance from their CMM (Coordinate Measurement Machines) and Equator‑X systems. This will be a key, customer‑facing role at the heart of this mission. Primarily field‑based, you will work hands‑on at customer sites across the UK — with occasional international travel — carrying out service, maintenance, calibration, and verification on a range of metrology equipment. In this role, you will ensure systems operate to the highest standards, meeting ISO 10360‑2/5 requirements and directly supporting Renishaw’s global reputation for metrology excellence, accuracy, and trust. Your work will have a visible impact on customer confidence, product quality, and manufacturing performance. Renishaw will provide comprehensive training and structured on‑the‑job development, enabling you to build the skills and confidence required to work independently in the field. As your experience grows, there is clear potential for progression within the team, offering long‑term career development within a world‑leading engineering organisation.
