Calibration Technician – Temp, Pressure, pH, Conductivity

The Junior Calibration Technician will assist in the calibration, testing, documentation, and maintenance of measurement instruments and sensors, specifically for temperature, pressure, pH, and conductivity. The technician will follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and calibration protocols to ensure all instruments function within defined tolerances and meet regulatory compliance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in the calibration and verification of instruments and sensors used in production, quality control, utilities, and laboratory settings.

• Operate calibration equipment such as dry block calibrators, pressure calibrators, multimeters, and reference probes.

• Maintain accurate calibration records and document data as per GDP and ISO standards.

• Support in scheduling and performing preventive maintenance and calibration activities.

• Learn and follow calibration procedures aligned with ISO/IEC 17025, NABL, and GMP guidelines.

• Assist in removing, installing, and troubleshooting field instruments under supervision.

• Maintain calibration tools, devices, and work areas in a clean and organized manner.

• Support in the identification and reporting of non-conforming instruments and initiate basic troubleshooting.

Key Focus Areas:

1. Temperature Calibration

   • Work with:

     • Dry blocks, liquid baths, RTDs, thermocouples, and temperature transmitters

2. Pressure Calibration

   • Assist with:

     • Digital and analog pressure gauges, transmitters, and pressure switches

     • Use of hand pumps and digital pressure calibrators

3. pH and Conductivity Instrumentation

   • Exposure to:

     • pH meters, conductivity analyzers, buffer/standard solutions

     • Cleaning, calibration, and electrode maintenance

4. Calibration Documentation & Compliance

   • Support in:

     • Filling calibration certificates, logs, and job sheets

     • Adhering to ISO 17025, GMP, and 21 CFR Part 11 documentation practices

5. Basic Troubleshooting & Safety

   • Learn to:

     • Identify sensor drift, calibration failures

     • Follow lockout/tagout and electrical safety during instrument handling

Qualifications:
