Calibration Technician

Salary: £31,200 – £42,000 per year

Our client is looking to employ a Calibration Technician within their successful business. If you have a degree in Music Technology or are qualified in acoustics or general physics, we would like to hear from you!

Our client runs a state of the art calibration laboratory for the calibration and certification of:-

• Condenser measurement microphones & preamplifiers

• Sound level meters & dosimeters

• Vibration level meters

• Accelerometers and other vibration transducers

• Sound and vibration level calibrators.

As a Calibration Technician you will run and maintain the laboratory, and provide calibrations on a regular basis.

The post will cover the following job functions: –

• Maintenance of calibration equipment and traceability to national standards

• Liaising with equipment manufacturers to ensure instrument specifications are fully understood

• Documenting calibration procedures

• Contacting and informing customers on turnaround times, and repair recommendations

• Developing new test procedures for devices not covered by existing system

• Preparation for future accreditation to UKAS and/or ISO 17025 procedures (medium term)

• Manage an apprentice

The role

The role of a Calibration Technician requires a great level of attention to detail, and a thorough grasp of calibration requirements. No previous experience with acoustics and vibration (although desirable) is required, but experience in a calibration environment with similar instrumentation (e.g. voltmeters, frequency meters etc) would be an advantage.

The Group intends to expand its calibration capabilities in the Bedford office, so this key post represents a great opportunity for an individual to grow with the business. Full training is provided on the test systems, and occasional international trips may be required to our Polish supplier for updates in calibration procedures and instruments.

Salary is negotiable, but dependent on level of experience and qualifications

Benefits 

• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays

• Company pension scheme

• Excellent career prospects and progression

• The opportunity to join a company that is thriving, very profitable and ever growing and expanding

Our client is committed to offering training and development opportunities for all of their employees and pride themselves on their motivating employee incentive schemes.
