(CMSC: Benbrook, TX) -- The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS), the eminent membership association for industrial measurement professionals, is hosting the first CMSC Metrology Careers Fair on Thursday, July 19, 2012, from 10 a.m.–11:30 a.m., during the Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC 2012). The conference will run July 16–20, 2012, in the exhibition hall at The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans. Admission to the CMSC Metrology Careers Fair is free, but you must check in at the conference registration desk to gain entry to the Fair.

This event is designed to generate interest in the field of metrology (the science of measurement), and to engage and educate young engineers, measurement novices and experts, and industrial professionals looking for a new career path. The Careers Fair is ideal for those with backgrounds in engineering and manufacturing. Attendees are encouraged to bring their resumes and questions about the field of metrology.

Careers Fair attendees will have the opportunity to meet more than 40 OEM manufacturers, service providers, and other companies involved with close-tolerance industrial coordinate measurement and technology, including Nikon Metrology, FARO Technologies, Hexagon Metrology, The Boeing Co., ATT Metrology Services, and others.

The Job Board section of the last two CMCS World e-newsletters included openings from more than 20 metrology companies, and the CMS is encouraged that this trend will continue into the foreseeable future. The CMS looks forward to your participation for a successful metrology Careers Fair.
