Job Description

Dimensional Calibration Technician (3rd Shift).

Sumter, SC • 11pm–7am • Full-Time.
Where Precision Isn’t Just a Skill — It’s a Mindset.

If you’re the kind of person who notices what others miss…
If you get a quiet thrill from catching a micron-level deviation…
If you take pride in knowing that your measurements keep entire production lines honest…

Then you’re exactly who we want on our team.

Why This Role Matters:

On 3rd shift, you’ll be the unseen force ensuring that parts, tools, and processes meet the exacting standards our customers rely on. Your work directly protects quality, safety, and reputation — and you’ll do it using some of the most advanced dimensional tools in the industry.

This isn’t a button‑pushing job.
This is craftsmanship with numbers.

What You’ll Do:

• Perform precision dimensional measurements using calipers, micrometers, CMMs, optical comparators, and more.
• Calibrate instruments to strict standards — and know when something feels off before the data even tells you
• Document results with accuracy that auditors love.
• Troubleshoot discrepancies like a detective with a dial indicator.
• Partner with engineers and production teams to keep specs tight and processes clean.
• Maintain and organize calibration equipment so it performs flawlessly.
• Uphold ISO standards and safety protocols like a pro.

What You Bring:

• High school diploma or equivalent; technical training in metrology is a plus.
• 1–3 years of dimensional measurement or calibration experience.
• Strong math skills and the ability to read technical drawings.
• A detail‑obsessed mindset — the kind that notices the 0.0005" that others overlook.
• Ability to work independently on 3rd shift.
• Familiarity with ISO standards is a bonus.

What You’ll Get:

• A supportive, growth‑focused environment where precision is respected.
• Competitive pay and benefits.
• Opportunities to expand your metrology skillset and work on challenging, meaningful projects.
• A role where your expertise directly shapes quality and performance.
