  • Overseeing calibration equipment, including coordination with external calibration providers
  • Managing spare parts, including stock control and annual stock checks

  • Working closely with the Technical Director to maintain calibration records and compliance
  • Assisting with technical input for tenders alongside the sales team
  • Ensuring all service activity is accurately recorded within internal systems
  • Supporting quality processes, including QMS, complaints, and regulatory reporting
  • Assisting engineering teams outside of the UK when required

About You

Essential:

  • ONC/HNC (or equivalent) in engineering (ideally electro-mechanical or medical instrumentation)
  • Basic understanding of electronics and fault finding
  • Strong communication skills and ability to build relationships with customers
  • Comfortable working independently and managing your own workload
  • Flexible approach with willingness to travel

What’s on Offer

  • A varied role combining field service and technical coordination
  • Opportunity to work with advanced and specialist equipment
  • Strong support from an experienced technical and commercial team
