Experience creating and implementing monthly calibration schedules. Ability to adhere to client and company directions, policies, and standards. Excellent customer service skills. ISA CCST certification preferred but not required. Must pass a background check and drug screening for work on a government facility. Must be willing to support clients within Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Northern Virginia. Physical Requirements Maintain a stationary position as necessary to complete assigned tasks. Frequent movement within client facilities and offices to access equipment. Operate instrumentation standards, computers, calculators, copy machines, printers, and other devices efficiently.
