Bedford MK BZ, United Kingdom Industrial Calibration Ltd Full time

About Us

Industrial Calibration Limited is a friendly, family-run business based in Kempston, focused on providing high-quality calibration services. As a small, supportive team, we pride ourselves on our professional service and quality-first approach.

We are looking for a practical and detail-oriented individual to join our technical laboratory. This is a fantastic opportunity to build a stable, hands-on career in engineering, even if you don't have prior experience.

The Role

This is an excellent opportunity to become a skilled, multi-disciplinary Calibration Engineer. You will be trained to calibrate a wide variety of equipment across Electrical, Mechanical, Pressure, and Temperature disciplines.

This role is primarily based in our Kempston lab, with very rare occasions travelling to customer sites. Full training on our processes, standards, and calibration software will be provided.

This position is ideal for someone with a practical mindset, perhaps with a background or hobby in electronics or mechanics, who is looking for a long-term "hands-on" career.

Key Responsibilities

  • Performing calibrations on customer equipment to manufacturer specifications and British Standards.
  • Accurately recording results and creating detailed calibration certificates using our software.
  • Identifying and carrying out low-level repairs on instrumentation.
  • Cleaning and labelling equipment to a high standard before dispatch to the customer.
  • Assisting with the general maintenance and upkeep of the calibration laboratory.

What We're Looking For

We are hiring based on attitude and potential. We want a "go-getter" who is eager to learn a technical skill.

Essential Requirements:

  • A strong, meticulous attention to detail is absolutely essential.
  • The ability to work independently, manage your own time, and stay focused.
  • A proactive attitude and a genuine willingness to learn new technical skills.
  • GCSEs in Maths and English (Grade C/4 or equivalent).

Desirable (Nice-to-Have):

  • Previous experience in a calibration, testing, or technical/engineering role.
  • A background or hobby in electronics (e.g., building PCs, wiring, repairs).
  • Experience using mechanical measuring devices (e.g., micrometres, callipers).
  • A full UK driving licence.

What We Offer

  • Excellent opportunities for progression and to build a specialist career.
  • Comprehensive on-the-job training to become a multi-skilled engineer.
  • Exposure to a vast range of measurement equipment.
  • A fantastic work-life balance with an early 1:00 PM finish every Friday
  • Working Hours:
  • Monday – Thursday: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
  • Friday: 8:30 AM – 1:00 PM
  • Company pension scheme.
  • Free on-site parking.
  • A friendly, supportive, and stable team environment in a family-run business.

If you are a practical, self-motivated person looking for a long-term technical role, we would love to hear from you.
