Field-Based Test & Calibration Technician
Location: Carlisle / Covering Scotland
Salary: £28,500 + Van + Bonus + OT + 25 Days Holiday + Benefits
Are you looking to kick-start your technical career with a company that offers long-term progression and real job stability? This is a great opportunity to join a growing international manufacturer of medical-grade scales and diagnostic equipment. From everyday GP surgery models to advanced wheelchair-accessible and body composition devices, their products play a vital role in healthcare settings across the UK.
They're now seeking a Field-Based Test & Calibration Technician to join their UK-wide service team.
The Role:
This is a field-based position where you'll be visiting healthcare sites including GP surgeries, hospitals, care homes, and dialysis clinics. You'll be responsible for testing and calibrating a range of medical scales and ensuring they're performing accurately and safely.
While the immediate focus is on testing and calibration, there is clear progression available in the future. Over time, you could move into repair work on other medical equipment such as ECGs, blood pressure monitors, and even gym equipment. However, it's important you are comfortable with the testing and calibration side of the role from the outset, as that is where the current need lies.
Key duties include:
Testing and calibrating scales on-site to ensure compliance and accuracy
Recording and reporting results using provided tools
Travelling throughout the region with a company vehicle
Handling and transporting calibration weights (up to 150kg - trolley provided)
Working to daily KPIs and maintaining high-quality standards
What's in it for you:
£28,500 starting salary with annual reviews
Company van, laptop, mobile phone, and credit card provided
Quarterly bonus of £250 and up to £1,000 Christmas bonus for hitting targets
Overnight stay allowance and all expenses covered
25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
Monday to Friday schedule with paid overtime available
Clear career path into more advanced technical roles (e.g., ECG, BP monitors)
Who we're looking for:
Someone early in their technical career, perhaps with a college qualification, apprenticeship, or junior field experience
Confident working independently and travelling to customer sites
Comfortable with manual handling and a physically active job
A reliable, proactive team player with strong communication skills
This role offers the chance to develop real-world technical experience in a supportive environment with long-term career potential.
