The Early Careers Network (ECN) is open to all Apprentices, Graduates, Industrial/Summer Placements, including Apprentices and Graduates who have transferred off of a programme in the last 12 months. The aim of the ECN is to create an early careers community which enables people to meet others from different schemes, sites and departments across the business.
Our purpose - Transforming Tomorrow Together
We are a global provider of manufacturing technologies, analytical instruments and medical devices. Our early careers programmes are integral to our business and we recognise the importance of investing in our people. We have a strong global presence, with over 5,000 employees across 76 locations in 36 countries and over 90% of our sales are made outside the UK.
The majority of our R&D and manufacturing is carried out in the UK, primarily in Gloucestershire, where our headquarters is based. We continue to make a significant commitment to research and development with typically around 13% to 18% of annual sales invested in R&D and engineering. We also have manufacturing sites in France, Germany, India, Ireland and the USA.
We work closely with our customers to solve complex engineering and science challenges to improve products and processes. Our unique blend of pioneering research and product innovation helps push the boundaries of what is possible, transforming product performance and touching billions of lives around the world.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
We recognise that increasing diversity in our company will enable us to be a responsible and productive business that is powered by talented people with different backgrounds and perspectives. This is central to our company strategy to provide a great place for our people to work, grow and contribute.
Our approach to corporate responsibility
Sustainability is an integral part of our purpose to transform tomorrow together. It is our ambition to become a sustainability leader, working in partnership with our customers, suppliers and local communities to create positive change. In November 2021, we committed to a Net Zero target of 2050, at the latest. We realise that becoming a sustainable business requires a lot more than achieving Net Zero emissions.

Whichever early careers pathway you choose to follow, you will become part of a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team working closely to design, develop, deliver and support the best outcomes for our customers.
By joining one of our early careers programmes you will also be able to participate in activities and events run and become a Renishaw STEM Ambassador.
You will also be entitled to a wide range of employee benefits.
