Purpose of the role:

The purpose of this role is to provide technical ownership and accountability for the delivery performance governance and continuous improvement of calibration across Ceres. It ensures that all calibratable and reference equipment within Test Production and Quality environments is effectively managed maintained and calibrated to deliver accurate reliable data in support of technology development and industrialisation.

The role defines and maintains the calibration operating model including the systems processes standards and governance required for safe efficient scalable and auditable delivery. This includes ownership of calibration standards asset tracking data and records and the optimisation of in-house and external calibration strategies supported by appropriate tools for scheduling monitoring data integrity and understanding of measurement performance.

It is accountable for calibration planning and execution including scheduling prioritisation and delivery of both in-house and externally managed calibration activities for managing the central asset register to ensure visibility of calibration status and demand and hands-on support where required. Working with area managers and Quality it ensures equipment availability and compliance while standardising calibration processes procedures and systems across the business.

The role also drives performance improvement through KPI tracking and continuous enhancement of calibration capability while acting as the technical authority on measurement systems calibration methods and equipment specificationsupporting test stand and equipment design commissioning operation and audit readiness.

Finally it ensures calibration capability is resilient and not dependent on individuals by embedding structured processes and documentation while building capability across the organisation through technician development succession planning and collaboration with internal teams and external suppliers providing clear operational ownership of calibration within Test Operations.

Knowledge and skills required for the role:

Significant industrial experience in a laboratory test manufacturing or similar engineering environment

Strong hands-on experience in calibration maintenance or operation of electromechanical measurement systems

Capable of managing calibration across a range of equipment including scheduling internal and external calibration and data management

Expertise in improving operational processes systems or frameworks in an engineering environment

Experience working across teams (e.g. engineering operations quality) to deliver technically robust outcomes

Demonstrated experience operating within regulated and safety-critical environments

HNC/HND or equivalent experience in Mechanical Electrical or Electronic Engineering (or related discipline)

Strong practical engineering and diagnostic skills in measurement systems

Competent in data handling and analysis using standard engineering tools (e.g. Excel or equivalent)
