• Ensure compliance by calibrating to NIST standards and maintaining thorough, audit-ready records.

What you’ll do

• Follow verbal and written directions from your supervisor to prioritize daily tasks.
• Install, diagnose, and repair electronic instrumentation: thermoelectric elements, pressure and flow devices, gas chromatographs, and pH instruments.
• Calibrate temperature and pressure elements to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requirements; generate and file physical calibration documentation.
• Maintain preventive maintenance schedules and test records; manage a complete library of calibration manuals.
• Rebuild/install valves, valve positioners, and other flow control components.
• Work with Engineering and Quality on material qualifications and testing; take part in customer audits.
• Use electronic/pneumatic test equipment and small hand tools with devices including valves, pH/conductivity probes, flow analyzers, pressure instruments, regulators, recorders, controllers, and thermal elements.
• Coordinate your area’s work with the central maintenance shop.
• Handle wire, pneumatic tubing, fittings, valves, controllers, sensors, and process systems that involve acids and chemicals; work with PLCs.

What you need to bring

• High School Diploma or GED.
• 5+ years in instrumentation and controls, with 3+ years in a similar industrial setting.
