Calibration Technician Job Description:

PrideStaff is partnering with a precision manufacturing facility in search of an experienced Calibration Technician. Working within the inspection department, this individual will be responsible for calibrating all mechanical inspection tools and measuring equipment used in the production of precision parts. The ideal candidate thrives in a high-detail environment, strictly adheres to written procedures, and is comfortable managing internal calibrations as well as preparing tools for external service.

Work closely with quality assurance and inspection teams to ensure all shop floor measuring equipment meets production quality requirements

Identify worn, defective, or out-of-tolerance tools and recommend repair or replacement

Maintain a clean, organized, and temperature-controlled calibration workstation

Adhere to all facility safety rules, quality guidelines, and PPE protocols

Calibration Technician Job Requirements & Working Conditions:
