• Maintain calibration records, work instructions, technical procedures, and quality documentation.
• Ensure compliance with laboratory quality management systems and accreditation requirements.
• Participate in internal audits, external audits, and accreditation assessments.
• Support implementation and continuous improvement of ISO/IEC 17025 procedures.
• Assist in corrective actions, root cause analysis, risk assessments, and non-conformance investigations.
• Maintain laboratory environmental monitoring records and equipment traceability.
  

Technical & Customer Support

• Provide technical support to customers regarding calibration requirements and measurement best practices.
• Coordinate with sales and service teams on calibration contracts and customer requirements.
• Support method validation, proficiency testing, and inter-laboratory comparison activities.
• Assist in the development and revision of calibration procedures and work instructions.
  

Qualifications
