Metrology Engineer Trainee - but what does it actually take to succeed in this kind of role?

First and foremost, you'll need to be confident with mathematics. This is a highly technical position where you'll be working with measurements, calculations, percentages, and detailed data, so being comfortable with numbers is essential.

This opportunity is particularly well suited to a college leaver looking to take their first step into engineering or manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with dimensional inspections using metrology equipment such as 3D scanners, ZEISS Inspect software, and handheld tools
• Support scanning processes, including data capture, processing, and alignment
• Learn how to analyse scan data and compare it against CAD models and technical drawings
• Help produce clear and accurate inspection reports
• Work alongside engineering and quality teams to identify issues and support root cause analysis
• Assist with maintaining and calibrating metrology equipment (under supervision)
• Follow company quality standards, procedures, and safety guidelines
• Take part in ongoing training and development to build your technical skillset

What We're Looking For

• A solid foundation in mathematics from school or college
• A strong willingness to learn new technologies and software
• High attention to detail and a problem-solving mindset
• Basic IT skills (e.g. Microsoft Office)
• Ability to read technical drawings is beneficial, but not essential

The Ideal Candidate

A curious, proactive individual who enjoys working with technology and has a genuine interest in precision engineering. If you're looking to build a long-term career in metrology and analysis, this is a great place to start.
