Metrologist

A Metrologist specialises in the science of measurement, known as metrology. Metrologists are responsible for ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and precision of measurements in various fields, including science, industry, and commerce. Their work is crucial because precise measurements are essential for quality control, safety, compliance with regulations, and scientific research. 

Main Responsibilities:

• Introduces and maintains measurement standards, including units of measurement, and ensures that these standards are consistent and widely recognised.
• Performs calibration of measuring instruments and equipment to verify their accuracy and compliance with established norms.
• In manufacturing, it ensures that products meet specifications and regulatory standards. To achieve this, they may work with Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) and other advanced tools.
• Analyses measured data, identifies discrepancies or errors, and provides recommendations for improvement or correction.
• Maintains meticulous records of measurements, calibration procedures, and equipment maintenance to ensure traceability and compliance with regulations.
• Conducts regular maintenance and upkeep of measuring instruments.
• Provides training to staff on measurement techniques, instrument usage, and best practises in measurement and calibration.
• Operates in accordance with international standards set by organisations such as the International System of Units (SI) and national metrological institutes

Necessary Skills / Requirements and Skills:

• A bachelor's degree in a field related to metrology, such as physics, engineering, mathematics, or a related field. Certification in calibration or metrology, such as Certified Calibration Technician (CCT) or Certified Metrologist.
• The ability to work with various measuring instruments and equipment, including knowledge of their calibration and maintenance.
• Familiarity with national and international metrological standards and regulations, such as ISO 17025 or NIST
• The ability to analyse data, identify deviations, and solve measurement-related issues
• Effective communication skills for presenting measurement and calibration results.
• Commitment to staying up-to-date in this field
