  6. Support and demonstrate the calibration facility compliance to BS EN ISO and BS EN and support audits to these standards.
  7. Undertake analysis of calibration data to minimise audit non-compliance and validate operation within the company requirements e.g., uncertainty budgets and undertaking corrective actions as appropriate.

This role is full time, 36 hours and based on site at Devonport Royal Dockyard, Plymouth.

Essential experience of the Senior Calibration Engineer:

Highly proficient with IT equipment, Office products and electronic workflows. Ability to achieve consistent results with professionalism, courtesy and integrity.
