Metrology / CMM EngineerShape the future of precision engineering
Are you ready to take ownership of metrology at a strategic level—not just program machines, but redefine how measurement drives performance across an entire engineering group?
We’re looking for a forward-thinking Metrology / CMM Engineer to lead the transformation of measurement practices across multiple sites. This is a high-impact role where you’ll move beyond day-to-day programming and step into a position of influence—building a unified, best-in-class metrology strategy that improves accuracy, efficiency, and productivity.
The OpportunityYou’ll be the driving force behind a Group-wide metrology evolution, starting with CMM optimisation and expanding into a fully standardised measurement framework.
From analysing current processes to implementing cutting-edge strategies, your work will directly impact:
*Measurement accuracy and repeatability
*Production throughput and efficiency
*Reduction of waste and over-processing
*Standardisation across multiple engineering environments
What You’ll Be DoingEvaluate & Challenge the Status Quo
*Review existing CMM programs, measurement strategies, and inspection frequencies
*Identify inefficiencies in equipment use, software, and processes
*Conduct site visits to assess capability, performance, and best practices
Design the Future of Metrology
*Build and deploy a Group-wide CMM & Metrology Strategy
*Standardise programming methods, inspection plans, and reporting structures
*Define training frameworks and competency standards
Optimise & Innovate
*Reduce cycle times through smarter probing strategies and routines
*Introduce automation and minimise operator intervention
*Improve throughput via fixturing, offline programming, and advanced techniques
Lead & Influence
*Act as the technical authority for metrology across the business
*Collaborate with Quality, Manufacturing, Design, and Operations teams
*Support audits, customer requirements, and new product introductions
What You Bring*Strong experience as a CMM Programmer/Engineer in aerospace or precision engineering
*Expertise in
* (or similar CMM software)
*Solid understanding of GD&T, complex geometries, and engineering drawings
*Proven ability in MSA, SPC, and capability studies
*Experience improving or standardising metrology processes across sites
Bonus points if you have:
*Exposure to advanced metrology (laser scanning, CT, non-contact systems)
*Knowledge of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement
*A degree or HNC/HND in Engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing)
*CMM or metrology certifications
Why This Role Stands OutThis isn’t just another engineering job. It’s a chance to:
*Influence strategy at a group level
*Work across multiple sites and technologies
*Drive real, measurable improvements in performance
*Be recognised as a technical leader in metrology
Ready to Lead Precision?If you’re passionate about measurement, driven by improvement, and ready to step into a role where your expertise shapes the bigger picture, this is your next move.
