Force Calibration Technician

Force Calibration Technician / Engineer

Location:

Near Leamington Spa
Salary: £30,000 – £33,000 DOE

Hours:

Monday to Friday | 40 hours | Day Shift

Syntech Recruitment are partnering with a well-established, UKAS-accredited calibration laboratory expanding its force calibration capability.

This is a precision-driven, hands-on role focused specifically on force measurement, load cells, torque transducers and material testing equipment, operating strictly to ISO/IEC 17025 standards.

If you have a strong metrology mindset and experience calibrating force-related instrumentation, this is a technically engaging opportunity within a stable and respected laboratory environment.

The Role – Force Calibration Focus

You will be responsible for performing high-accuracy force calibrations across a range of customer equipment, ensuring full UKAS compliance and technical integrity.

Typical equipment will include:

* Load cells (compression & tension)

* Force gauges

* Torque transducers

* Material testing machines

* Universal testing machines (UTM)

* Hydraulic and mechanical force systems

You will work to strict laboratory procedures and uncertainty budgets, ensuring traceability to national standards.

Key Responsibilities

* Perform force and torque calibrations in line with ISO/IEC 17025 procedures

* Operate dead weight testers, force frames and specialist calibration rigs

* Calculate measurement uncertainty and apply correction factors

* Complete and review calibration certificates and supporting documentation

* Ensure full traceability to national standards

* Identify, document and resolve non-conformances

* Input accurate calibration data into the laboratory management system

* Maintain laboratory standards and housekeeping in line with UKAS audits

* Support internal audits and external UKAS assessments

* Liaise with customers regarding technical queries where required

Technical Experience Required

To be considered, you should have:

* Proven hands-on experience in force calibration within a UKAS environment

* Strong working knowledge of ISO/IEC 17025

* Understanding of uncertainty calculations and measurement traceability

* Experience working with load cells, torque systems or mechanical testing equipment

* Ability to interpret engineering drawings and specifications

* Strong numerical skills and confidence working with Excel

* High attention to detail and methodical working approach

Mechanical or engineering qualifications (HNC/HND, NVQ, apprenticeship or equivalent) are advantageous.

What Makes This Role Attractive?

* Specialist force-focused position (not generalist calibration)

* Stable, accredited laboratory with consistent workflow

* Clean, structured day-shift hours

* Clear technical development within metrology

* Opportunity to build deeper expertise in force measurement systems

This role suits someone who values precision, compliance and technical accuracy, and wants to work within a professional calibration environment.
