We are looking to recruit a Measurement Science Apprentice to participate in multiple scientific projects, working with Scientists, Engineers and Technicians to develop a range of skills and knowledge about Precision Measurement (metrology).
Under the guidance of measurement specialists in the Precision Metrology Laboratory, you will be expertly trained to use computer controlled, scientific instruments to perform accurate length and angle measurements.
This 3-year apprenticeship will be based at Diamond Light Source, with training provided by the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL), a world-leading centre of excellence in developing and applying the most accurate measurement standards. Training blocks at NPL will also provide you with the opportunity to meet other scientific apprentices from other organisations.
You must have achieved (or are expecting) 5 GCSE’s at grade 4/C and above, including English, Maths and at least one Science subject (or equivalent qualification).
Key Personal Attributes:
Diamond Light Source is one of the world’s most advanced scientific facilities. We’re home to the UK’s synchrotron light source – a giant microscope producing beams of light 10 billion times brighter than the sun.
Probing the structure and composition of matter, our work drives innovation in everything from vaccines to nanotech.
Diamond provides the opportunity to work and learn within an exciting and unique working environment with a vast array of scientific research that really does make a difference in shaping and changing the world and our understanding of it.
