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.
The Role
We're looking for a motivated and detail-oriented individual who wants to learn and develop within the world of metrology. You'll gain hands-on experience with advanced measurement technologies while supporting engineering and quality teams.
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.
