About the role

Working from our Roma laboratory, you'll be involved in the day-to-day delivery of our calibration and testing services.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Calibrating pressure gauges, torque wrenches and other test equipment in accordance with documented procedures.

• Accurately recording test results and preparing calibration certificates and service reports.
• Receiving, registering, tracking and dispatching customer equipment.
• Responding to customer enquiries, preparing quotes and providing updates on job progress.
• Assisting with invoicing, stock control and general laboratory administration.
• Maintaining a clean, safe and organised laboratory in accordance with quality procedures.

You'll work with specialised testing equipment and software while developing your understanding of measurement accuracy, calibration standards and quality systems.

About you

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys learning and understands the importance of accuracy and attention to detail.

To succeed in this role, you'll need:

• Excellent attention to detail – you notice when numbers, measurements, serial numbers or dates don't match.
• Confident computer skills – you're comfortable using email, Microsoft Word, Excel and learning new systems.
• Accuracy and consistency – you can maintain complete records and follow documented procedures without taking shortcuts.
• Good organisational skills – you can manage multiple jobs, prioritise workloads and meet customer turnaround times.
• Clear communication skills – you're professional and friendly when dealing with customers by phone and email.
• Basic numeracy – you're comfortable working with measurements, units, readings and tolerances.
• Reliability and initiative – you're punctual, dependable and comfortable working independently or as part of a small team.
• A willingness to learn – you're interested in developing specialised technical skills and taking on new responsibilities.

While not essential, experience in any of the following areas would be highly regarded:

• Oil and gas industry operations, equipment or services.
• Calibration, instrumentation or laboratory testing.
• Mechanical trades, workshop operations or equipment servicing.
• Quality assurance, inspection or working within documented quality management systems.
• Technical administration, equipment tracking or service coordination.

A current driver's licence is preferred.

You don't need previous calibration experience to apply. We value attention to detail, a positive attitude and a willingness to learn just as highly as existing technical experience.

What we offer

• Competitive salary of $80,000–$85,000 + superannuation, depending on skills and experience.
• Monday to Friday, 7:00am–3:00pm, with no weekend work.
