Key Responsibilities

• Plan and execute dimensional inspection and measurement tasks using advanced 3D scanning and optical metrology systems, with a focus on accuracy and efficiency.
• Operate and program metrology hardware and software, including system setup, calibration checks and data capture in workshop and on-site environments.
• Perform CAD comparisons, GD&T evaluation and data analysis, producing clear technical reports that support engineering decisions.
• Take ownership of routine projects end-to-end, and contribute technically on more complex assignments, escalating to senior engineers where appropriate.
• Support customer engagements on-site (UK-wide and occasionally internationally), demonstrating professionalism and clear technical communication.
• Utilize best practice methods to maintain measurement integrity, documentation and traceability across all deliverables.
• Mentor and support junior colleagues (e.g. Metrology Technicians) through practical guidance, coaching and knowledge sharing.
• Contribute to continuous improvement activities, including developing repeatable workflows, templates, and automation where beneficial.

What You’ll Need

• Proven experience in dimensional metrology, inspection or precision measurement (or a relevant technical qualification with strong practical experience).
• Hands-on experience with metrology systems and software (e.g. 3D scanning/optical measurement and inspection analysis tools).
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and apply GD&T in inspection and reporting.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality technical outputs.
• Confidence working independently, with the judgement to seek support on unfamiliar or high-risk tasks.
• Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain technical findings to customers and internal stakeholders.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to customer sites.
• Eligibility to work in the UK; additional security requirements may apply for certain customer environments.

Desirable

• Experience with automated inspection setups and repeatable measurement cells (e.g. automated scanning workflows).
• Exposure to scripting/automation or data processing to support efficient inspection delivery.
• Background in aerospace, defence, automotive, or other regulated/high-precision manufacturing environments.
• Clear career progression within a fast-growing engineering consultancy.
• Exposure to a broad range of industries and advanced manufacturing environments.

What We Offer

• A technically challenging role with opportunities to broaden capability and progress into senior engineering responsibilities.
• Access to training and development aligned to the tools, methods and customer applications used day-to-day.
• Varied project work across multiple industries, with a mix of site-based and workshop-based delivery.

Location

Basingstoke, Hampshire – with regular UK-wide travel and occasional international assignments.
