The Calibration Technician IV, working with limited supervision, calibrates, troubleshoots, and continuously improves the instrumentation and control systems critical to manufacturing operations in a cGMP facility.

As a skilled technician, the Technician IV self-directs day-to-day calibration priorities based on instrument condition and business need, balancing immediate calibration demands against longer-term reliability improvements, and makes independent technical decisions within the calibration and instrumentation discipline. The role ensures instrument accuracy and compliance with safety and quality standards in a regulated environment.

Calibration & Preventive Maintenance

• Calibrate, test, evaluate, and inspect critical instrumentation and control systems to provide accurate and reliable process measurement, including daily operational checks such as verification, inspection, and functional testing
• Conduct scheduled and predictive calibration checks on process and utility instrumentation, including but not limited to temperature, pressure, flow, level, pH, and weight measurement devices, and associated control systems
• Determine calibration priorities based on instrument history, condition monitoring, and production schedules; manage work order prioritization and scheduling of calibration and preventive tasks to optimize instrument accuracy and operational efficiency

Troubleshooting, Calibration Failure & Reliability

• Monitor and respond to instrument failures, alarms, and abnormal site conditions by taking appropriate preventive and corrective actions to minimize downtime and maintain continuous operation of the cGMP manufacturing facility
• Apply internal procedures, industry standards, and manufacturer specifications to inspect, diagnose, and troubleshoot production, measuring, and test equipment; resolve issues independently and elevate those falling outside established procedures
• Perform Calibration Failure Assessments and Like-for-Like Assessments; inspect third-party calibrations, repairs, and rebuilds for adherence to requirements and quality of work
• Identify recurring out-of-tolerance conditions and failure modes, and propose and implement improvements to instrument performance, reliability, and safety; participate in projects to upgrade instrumentation or calibration processes

Compliance, Documentation & Safety

• Document all calibration, repair, preventive maintenance, and modification activities accurately in work orders, calibration certificates, and maintenance records
• Ensure all calibration activities are conducted in compliance with cGMP, company policies, safety standards, and SOPs
• Follow all safety protocols, perform risk assessments, and support initiatives to promote a safe working environment, including compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations

Experience & Education

Minimum Qualifications

• Progressive and substantial hands‑on calibration and instrumentation experience, preferably in a pharmaceutical or food manufacturing environment
• Demonstrated troubleshooting capability across the following systems: Instrumentation and controls: PLC input/output troubleshooting, basic PLC diagnostics, sensors, transmitters and switches, 4–20 mA and 0–10 V signals, proximity and photoelectric sensors, control panels, and HMI troubleshooting
• Electrical: single- and three-phase systems, control circuits, and instrumentation loop wiring; ability to read electrical schematics and use a multimeter and other electrical test equipment
• Mechanical: pumps, valves, and process piping systems as they relate to instrument installation and calibration points
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Positive and flexible approach in responding to demanding operational situations
• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent and shifting priorities, and to independently determine work sequence and technical approach within the calibration and instrumentation discipline

Preferred Qualifications

• 2-year diploma or certificate in Instrumentation, Electrical, Electromechanical, Automation, or Mechanical Engineering Technology, or equivalent combination of education and experience
• 5+ years of industrial calibration or instrumentation experience, preferably in a pharmaceutical or food manufacturing environment
• Instrumentation and Control Technician (447A) license
• Industrial Electrician (442A) license
• Experience with processing, filling, and packaging equipment
• Experience in a cGMP environment and maintenance awareness
• Working knowledge of safety procedures, LOTO, and electrical safety
• Ability to work from P&IPs, electrical drawings, schematics, and equipment manuals
• Physical & Work Environment: Physical demands may include standing for extended periods, crouching/squatting, ability to lift up to 20kg (44lbs), and working in cleanroom environments with appropriate gowning requirements, including the use of a respirator as required.
