• Coordinate and manage the site-wide calibration program for all measurement and test equipment, including hand tools, gauges, fixtures, laboratory instruments, and automated inspection systems.
• Provide day-to-day oversight and technical supervision of calibration technicians and equipment operators, ensuring proper use, handling, and status control of calibrated equipment.
• Assign, prioritize, and monitor calibration activities performed by calibration technicians and trained operators in accordance with approved procedures and schedules.
• Develop, maintain, and control calibration schedules, ensuring timely calibration, recertification, recall, and availability of equipment.
• Interface with external calibration service providers to schedule services, review certifications, resolve discrepancies, and ensure compliance with contractual, technical, and regulatory requirements.
• Review and approve calibration certificates for accuracy, traceability, and conformance to AS9100, ISO 17025, customer, and program-specific requirements.
• Maintain accurate and complete calibration records within electronic quality systems (e.g., ERP, CMMS, or calibration databases).
• Ensure proper identification, labeling, segregation, and status control of calibrated and non-calibrated equipment across production, inspection, and laboratory areas.
• Support internal, customer, and third-party audits by providing calibration records, metrics, and objective evidence, and by participating in audit discussions as the calibration subject‑matter expert.
• Investigate and document out‑of‑tolerance conditions, assess potential product impact, and coordinate containment and corrective actions with Quality, Engineering, and Operations.
• Develop, maintain, and revise calibration‑related procedures, work instructions, and training materials.
• Train, qualify, and support calibration technicians and equipment operators on calibration requirements, equipment handling, and proper measurement practices.
• Monitor calibration KPIs (on‑time calibration, overdue items, audit findings, escapes) and lead continuous improvement initiatives to strengthen system robustness.
• Ensure compliance with all safety, environmental, and EHS requirements related to calibration activities.
