Lancashire County Council's Trading Standards Service is looking to recruit a Metrology Technical Support Officer with a focus on physically testing items using specialised equipment in a laboratory setting at our Cuerden Mill depot in Lancashire. The role is to provide general and specific technical support within the Trading Standards Metrology Team, oversee and coordinate the day-to-day calibration services, and undertake other technical support.

The Trading Standards Service is responsible for the enforcement of legal metrology (weights and measures) duties using specialised testing equipment to ascertain business compliance. The metrology work is undertaken by a specialised team within Trading Standards, from a purpose-built calibration centre as well as during inspections at business premises.

The testing equipment used during compliance inspections by the Service is predominantly maintained and calibrated in-house.

- Ability to safely handle high value, precision artefacts ranging in mass from 1mg to 20kg
- Working as a member of a team

With previous experience in an accredited calibration or testing laboratory in a technical and/or supervisory role and familiarity with/understanding of quality management system requirements, particularly ISO17025 and ISO9001, and sound knowledge of advanced principles of measurement you will be confident in:

- Using specialised equipment
- Acting as a source of technical reference to colleagues
- Carrying out contract reviews
- Recording, storing and analysing statistical data held in electronic format
- Reporting anomalies and investigating non-conforming work
- Working alone for long periods, sometimes undertaking moderately physical activity
- Processing orders, obtaining specifications and requirements as practised in a customer-facing role

In return for your skills, knowledge and experience Lancashire County Council offer a wide range of benefits which can be found on our website and include the opportunity for remote working when completing administrative tasks relating to the role.

**Please ensure you have uploaded and attached your supporting statement to evidence how you meet the criteria for the role. The panel may be unable to shortlist you for interview without this evidence.**

In return Lancashire County Council offers a range of benefits, which can be found on LCC Vacancies website.
