• Confidence using basic computer systems for schedules, records and documentation.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work with colleagues, technical teams and external service providers.
• A willingness to learn calibration methods, measurement principles and quality requirements.

• Familiarity with measuring tools, gauges, torque equipment or test instruments.
• Some knowledge of calibration, measurement traceability or quality systems such as ISO/IEC 17025.
