Apply NowForce 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 deadweight 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.
