Company news

To improve science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) engagement in primary schools across Gloucestershire, global engineering technologies company Renishaw is sponsoring a local not-for-profit company STEMworks to deliver 100 workshops with students aged nine to eleven to inspire the next generation of engineers.

At a ceremony in the Cankar Centre in Ljubljana, Dora Domajnko was named Slovenia’s first ever Female Engineer of the Year. The Development Engineer at RLS, a Renishaw associate company, was presented with the award for being an outstanding inspiration for young people. The award was organised by Let’s Be Engineers!, an initiative that encourages more young people to consider engineering careers.

To continue the success of Renishaw’s education outreach programme, the global engineering company has become an official partner of the Cardiff Blues Community Foundation. The three-year partnership will see the Guinness PRO14 rugby club’s community team deliver a new secondary school programme to raise the aspirations of year 8 and 9 pupils in the local area.

Global engineering technologies company Renishaw is recruiting for a record 68 apprentices across its Gloucestershire and South Wales sites. The 2019 intake will be the 40th round of apprentices to join Renishaw, which has taken apprentices every year since 1979. Applications for a range of roles including engineering, software, embedded electronic design and development, and IT are now open until Friday March 1st, 2019.

Following his appointment to the board of CECIMO in 2015, Stewart Lane, Corporate Manager at global engineering company Renishaw, has been selected as chairman of CECIMO’s new Additive Manufacturing (AM) Committee. The committee will discuss EU policy challenges and drive AM forward in Europe.
